Hi Folks
Here is the latest 'Pondoro' hunter out of my workshop...

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 one is in Magnacut stainless steel with a Micarta handle. Use of the super-tough Magnacut allows a thinner blade with a fine geometry - light-weight and slicey! This Micarta block is particularly interesting as it is two-tone that I have set asymmetrically down the length of the handle. Nickel silver guard, mosaic main pin and fibre liners.

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 like Cape Buffalo as well as general duties around the campsite. This knife will serve you well in hunting trips for the rest your lifetime.

Handsome knife with a beautiful sheath. You know it's a good design when someone like myself, who isn't normally attracted to this type of knife, still finds it impressive.
 
Sweet blade!!! Great job!!
Your knives always have an organic( maybe not the right word) appeal.....The curves are always right where they should be and they ooze class!!! Fantastic blade and pants!
