Utility/Hunter with black & green g-10

[J. Doyle]

Here's a utility/hunter I just finished.

Specs:
1080 steel, clay quenched
8 1/2" overall, 4 1/4" blade (3 3/4" sharp), .180" thick just in front of the thumb grip
Black g-10 bolsters, dovetailed
Olive green g-10 scales with black g-10 liners
Black carbon fiber pins and lanyard tube
False edge, not sharp
Filed thumb grip
Tapered tang, tapers down to .018" at the butt end, that's pretty thin.

Any/all comments and discussion welcome.

I like it, .018, I just did .030 and thought that was thin

John, This is a sweet hunter. Your attention to detail is very nice. The dove tail fit and alignment is spot on. The tapered tang of course @ .018 how thin can we go? :thumbup:
And the little hamon action just adds to a little more sweetness.

As always thanks for sharing

Great little hunter, John. I like the tapered tang and the shaped scales. That top shot is very sexy

Damn, John! that is really slick. Great profile, great colors, great knife overall. Looks like it feels great in the hand.:thumbup:
