Hello,
Today I have this hand forged utility hunter in CruForgeV, African Blackwood, micarta and copper available!
A custom knife like this from me would usually be $700+, but due to a few minor cosmetic issues (minor enough that after the first good use will just blend right in and look like normal wear) and the balance being slightly off because of the copper liners, I don’t feel comfortable selling it at full price.
Also this knife has a compound grind on it, the tip and part of the belly have a flat grind and the rest of the blade has a slight hollow.

It’s a beautiful knife and I kinda hate to see it go, but I won’t be able to give it the love it deserves.

Specs:
Knife Type: Utility Hunter
Steel: CruForgeV
HRC: 61.8
Blade Finish: Hand Rubbed
Grind: Subtle Compound
Handle Material: African Blackwood
Liner Materials: Copper & Black Linen Micarta
Pin Material: Copper
Blade Length 4.95”
Handle Length: 4.6”
Overall Length: 9.55”
Blade Thickness: 0.142”
Weight: 7.05 OZ
Made: 04/04/2023

Asking $old with free US shipping

Nice! I'm still paying off a $400 Bark River & $300 Fallkniven or I would buy. I created this account from a search on Google - I came across you selling a Magnacut Kephart. That's my next knife lol. Do you have a website?
 
Thanks guys!

I have not made a website yet, but feel free to go to my instagram (link in my signature below 👇) to see more of my work!
 
Gorgeous knife, just out of curiosity since I'm not seeing any cosmetic issues, can you point these out in the photos?Seems like quite a bargain for a real work of art!
 
This one and the magnacut kephart are really something.

Love the copper and black - working that copper liner can't be easy.
 
Thank you again everyone!

The biggest thing is a scratch near the edge, which I have pointed out in the photo below:

The rest is minor enough you Can’t see in a photo and some of it you can’t even see unless it’s in the right lighting.

No it was definitely not easy! The hardest part was getting them perfectly flat before glueing everything up!
 
Luv the copper.... Worth it I think.....I just pops and looks awesome.....
Eye catching beauty!!
 
I don't usually comment on sales threads...but having the tang taper down to the exact width of the copper liners is an exceedingly nice touch!
 
Wow! Blade is longer than I can comfortably manage for a hunter or I’d be pulling the trigger, but this is absolutely incredible. Please post pics of it somewhere other than just a sale thread because this is uniquely gorgeous!
 
Okay enough is enough, I'm taking this!! I can't tell you how many times I've looked back over the photos and tried to come up with reasons I don't need this :-) Just appeals to me to much to pass up.
