SOLD pending transfer of funds
Spyderco Hossom Forester - new in box
SPECS
OAL 15 9/16"
blade length 9 1/8"
blade thickness 3/16"
blade steel N690CO
weight 16.8 OZ.
Jerry Hossom started making knives more than 25 years ago, doing so professionally since 1997. He avoids knifemaking boundaries, preferring to make models that don't fit any predisposed category but are task or role specific as to function. His blade designs are legend...these have been discontinued by Spyderco, and are relatively rare finds. A beast of an all-around field blade.
Hossom's specialty is large fixed blades that go hand-in-hand with being outdoors and take on any cutting challenges Mother Nature can throw at you, large or little. Spyderco offers a collaborative version of one of Jerry’s best known designs.
The Hossom Forester is nearly 16 inches long. Features: Full-bellied cutting edges with upswept tips and comfortably rounded spines. The blades are flat ground European N690Co steel which carries a reputation for cutting performance and edge retention. There is also a handguard behind the cutting edge, a finger choil, and jimping on the thumb ramp purposely designed to keep your hand and handle engaged when light cutting or all out chopping.
All are constructed from a solid piece of steel with pinned and contoured Gray-Green Micarta handle scales. For carrying, they come in a Boltaron sheath (virtually identical to Kydex) that has a five-position TekLock® fastener (removable).
