Tapered Tang Hunter

[Burchtree]

Just finished this one up. It features a 1086M blade that has about a 6 1/4 cutting edge and is about 11 3/4 inches overall. It is the first tapered tang blade I've ever done. It doesn't have a ton of taper, but it's there. I went with a squarish choil because the customer wanted a full-tang version of a stick-tang that I did. The handle is spalted maple burl --

Here is the original (with a little shorter blade):
