I've been busy with commissions, so I'm not getting to post here for sale as much as I'd like. I figured I'd try to do something really nice for my next listing.
I feel this is my best work to date. I spent probably an entire extra shop day on this knife. I hadn't initially planned on using this handle style, but I love it, and it just seemed like the right thing for the knife.
My idea here was a slim hunter that was light and nimble in the hand, but large enough for a person with larger hands to use comfortably.
The Hawaiian Silky Oak is just stunning. I got the wood from Mark at Burl Source, and he really knocked it out of the park on this stuff. I just keep going back out into the shop and staring at it, I think the knife is trying to hypnotize me.
edit: Oh, and this is the first knife of mine that has "bit" me. You can see the evidence in pictures 5 and 6.
S35VN @62 w/Cryo, hollow ground on 10" wheel
Hawaiian Silky Oak stabilized by K&G
416SS fittings, 1/8" pin
G10 liners
4.5" edge length, 4.875" from guard
OAL 10.1", Blade thickness .145"
Weight 4.4oz
I'd like to get sold for this one. I try to keep my price down to help keep my knives in the range of users, but I put a lot of work into this one so I had to go a bit higher than I normally do.
