Gentlemen:
For your consideration is this Hunter in CPM-154/Eastern Black Walnut. This is a rather large hunter but extremely light due to the hidden tang and deep hollow grinds which extend all the way to the spine.....ground with a 10" wheel. The AAA fancy Eastern Black Walnut handle has bold fiddleback figure covering 100% of the handle which was hand sanded to 2500 grit, pores filled with Truoil and buffed/waxed.....the handle is coke bottle contoured for comfort/ergonomics. The deeply hollow ground blade was ground to .025" with 25 degree secondary bevels - it has a mirror finish as does the furniture. The single guard was press-fit to the blade with no solder, just to show that I can do it just like the high dollar knife makers.
I like the looks of a finely executed solder joint better IMHO. The tang extends 3/4 of the way into the handle and is set with a 3/32" stainless pin and G/flex marine grade epoxy. The sheath color looks a little uneven in the photo but it will even out - it's drying at this writing. I hope you like it! The first "I'll take it, PM, or email gets it. $375 delivered CONUS. Paypal preferred to tksteingass@frontier.com. This knife is also listed on my website. Thanks for viewing and your comments are welcome.
