Spalted Maple Integrals

[Karl B. Andersen]

A customer of mine ordered a Spalted Maple Hunter for himself and one for a huntin' buddy!
Forged from 7/8" round 52100 bearing steel and handled with Stabilized End-grain Spalted Maple, acquired from my ol' buddy Larry Bailey.
The cutting edge on these knives is right at 4" with an overall length of 8 3/4".
These should make Santa proud!

[SBranson]

Very attractive knives.
I've wondered if you have large hands as many of your knives have handles that look larger than most others' in proportion.
I for one would like that.
