Stag Hunter

[Chuck Gedraitis Knives]

I figured I should make a fixed blade since I haven't in a while. Blade is forged to shape 1080 and has been differentially heat treated. It has been polished and etched to bring out the hamon. The bolsters are my own mosaic damascus and the scales are premium stag. This knife is built with screw together construction and the screws have been heat colored gold. There has been some filework on the spine and on the underside near the butt.

Knife Info
Full Length 7-3/4 inches
Blade Length 3-5/8 inches
Blade Material Forged 1080 tool steel
Handle Material Sambar Stag
Bolsters/Guard Radial pattern mosaic damascus

Thanks for looking,
Chuck

That is a very pretty knife.
Nice design, nice work.

That knife looks fantastic. It has the look of a fighter, but I guess it would work as a hunter as well.

Looks great Chuck.. Im mostly into folders and this reminds me of one a bit. I like the smooth thin lines/curves of it and the bolster area. The blade shape has a narrow look that I like alot and agree is fighter-like.

Nice Chuck. The handle and bolster are folder like. Love the stag and blade shape. :thumbup:
