A hunter:
- 4.25" ATS34 Stainless Steel Blade (1/8" stock)
- Tapered tang, hand rubbed satin finish
- Red fibre spacers
- Stabilized Spalted Oak Burl Handle (satin finished). This is really unique looking material.
- Brass and Mosiac Pins

Thanks guys. That oak is one of the showiest pieces of wood I've ever had. The only other one that competed was a spalted maple burl that was full of blues and greens and browns. Amazing what you can find sometimes.

Matt ...

Welcome aboard! If you need me, holler!
