This is my signature drop point hunter that I have been making for several years with a highly polished finish. I was making a two pin version but everyone went wild over the six pin giving it a unique look that works well with dark wood. The gentle curve makes this a great cutting knife for most applications. The knife is professionaly heat treated to give optimum performance. The handle is snakewood which is a very dense strong wood with a finish mixture of shellac and carnuba wax which is hot buffed (to melt on) with a high speed buffer. The sheath is hand made with a nice barbed wire pattern, treated with neets foot oil with an antique brown stain. Razor Sharpened at about 15 degrees on each side with a convex edge to give good cutting performance with good edge retention and easy touch up with Spiderco or other fixed angle sharpener.

great looking knife! Someones gonna be real happy! I will say though that someone, I can't recall who, sold a fixed blade here in under two minutes. Regardless of that, you knife is one of the nicest I've seen.
 
So what's with the last pic & the Swiiss Cross on the blade. I'm stumped. Must be a relection from.....your Swiss camera??? :)
 
I wanted to show the polish on the blade so I grabbed my handy swiss army knife that I carried many years before I started making my own folding knives. Looking for something to use in the reflection I thought I was being clever??
 
I'm glad somebody asked - because I noticed that too. I once had a watch made by the same company that makes the swiss army knife - red cross and all on the face. I thought it was odd that they'd be making cameras too.

Well now that you point it out, I'm wondering how I missed that. :eek: I saw the black reflection, but for some reason it wasn't computing in my brain as the handle of a Swiss Army knife. Clever indeed. :) BTW, nice knife.

Got the knife today.

It's real nice. The blade tapers very thin to the tip so that it feels like most of the weight is in the handle.

I like it.
