Slim Hunter: Cocobol and O1

Matt Shade · Dec 27, 2004

Here's a slim hunter, might even qualify as a bird and trout pattern.
Blade is 1/8" O1
Blade length:3.5"
Overall Length:7.5"
Scales are Cocobolo, finished with Danish Oil. The pictures don't show the contouring very well, but I guess thats what I get for using a scanner. Handle fills your hand pretty well, fairly thick with a slight taper towards the front.
Pins and thong hole are brass.

Asking $80 for this one. I'll try to make the sheath to your specs (carry method) but it will have to be kydex. Shipping is on me with within continental U.S.

I'm gonna knock this one down to $80 with sheath as part of the "Matt needs a real grinder" sale

The craftsman bench grinder is being retired. I just ordered a belt grinder. Now I'm trying to make room in the shop which means putting the tools back in the bench. That means this thing needs to get OUT of the bench

Knocking it down to $80 with sheath

The pictures really don't do the handle justice, and I hadn't sharpened it yet in the pictures, so the point will be sharper and the edge will be evened out and all that

What grinder did you get? I luze my KMG. I want a slack belt platen for it though. Maybe I can make one??

Brian, I'm gonna get a Coote. Haven't gotten confirmation on it yet, but thats what I'm planning on. I'd love a KMG but I just can't afford that right now. The coote will be a huge improvement over an 8" benchgrinder and all that damn hand sanding

Quicksilver,
I think I talked to you through email earlier today. If not, please get in touch with me, your address isn't listed

Thanks for the nice comments one2gofst

For anyone else, sale is pending on this one but thanks for looking

Nice filework Matt!! After catching my eye a couple times I realized it said SHADE..

Matt Shade · Jan 25, 2005

Thanks Jerid
It usually takes at least a second look, but folks seem to like it once they figure it out

I think the whole package is fantastic, the design, the file work, the focus, the price, it's all together.
I wouldn't mind talking about having one made for me.

Now, get to work on that other one. You know you have some even nicer cocobolo to use.

Matt Shade · Jan 26, 2005

Thanks a million guys

This thread has been pretty surprising, when I posted this knife in the gallery section nobody said anything.
I do have some really nice cocobolo too thanks to Danbo. If my grinder would just show up I'd be in hog heaven
