"Not Forged" Hunter

Most knives this shape are forged blades, because the stick tang lends itself to forging. I haven't fired up the forge in nearly two years, but I still like to make a stick tang hunter once in a while. This blade is 3/16 1080 carbon steel at 60 RC, shaped by stock removal. The guard is brass (nice fit!) and the contoured handle is some good striped cocololo. I don't use brass much anymore, preferring 416, but it was the customer's request.

Looks great, I agree that brass pops with the wood and looks awesome!
What do you use for your mark on the blade is that stamped or etched?

Etched the mark. Stencil was from TUS Tech, etcher is an old Marking Methods machine.
