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.
- Blade thickness: 3.7mm (0.15")
- Blade depth: 36mm (1.4")
- Blade length: 113mm (4.4")
- Overall length: 240mm (9.4")
- Weight (without sheath): 188g (6.6oz)
- Weight (with sheath): 280g (9.9oz)
- Handle material: Canvas Micarta - two-tone natural color.
- Fittings: Nickel Silver.
