Hi Folks
Something a bit special off my workbench recently...
Named after the esteemed big game hunter John 'Pondoro' Taylor and inspired by the big tuskers of his day. A rounded handle, lanyard tube, generous finger guard and light-weight hidden tang construction combines practicality with the aesthetic.
This Pondoro is in Magnacut stainless steel with a Stabilized Maple Burl handle. Use of the ultra-tough Magnacut allows a thinner blade with a fine geometry - light-weight and slicey! A Nickel silver finger guard, mosaic main pin and fibre liners complete the piece.
After a hard day's work in the field, this knife will make light work of breaking down your quarry. Enough blade and robust enough for some of the largest thick-skinned game as well as general duties around the campsite. This knife will serve you well in hunting trips for the rest your lifetime.
- Blade thickness: 3.7mm (0.15")
- Blade depth: 36mm (1.4")
- Blade length: 113mm (4.4")
- Overall length: 240mm (9.4")
- Weight (without sheath): 172g (6oz)
- Weight (with sheath): 268g (9.4oz)
- Handle material: Stabilized Maple Burl
- Fittings: Nickel Silver with vulcanized fiber liners and mosaic pin
SOLD Euro
Also in my webshop with a few more pics: The 'Pondoro' Hunter - Magnacut & Maple Burl
Thanks for looking!
