This little drop point hunter is forged from W2 roundstock.
It was then Clay hardened with a hand rubbed finish applied.
The forward section of the guard was forged using 1 1/4" WI. A 2 inch section was cut off the roundstock, heated to 2100 and cleaved down the center about half way through the piece. The piece was then reheated and pressed causing the cleaved sections too flare out and then down resulting in the distortion that shows in the etched guard.
The back section of the guard was straight cut with out pressing.
The butt cap was also upset.
The stag was a gift from a good friend. Thank you.
The knife is just under 7 inches.
Happy to answer any questions, Fred
