Forged trailing point hunter
This is another commissioned piece that will be under the Christmas tree. A lady ordered this for her husband. He said he was looking for a trailing point that had no guard. The rest was up to me. He doesn't know she had one custom made for him.
Specs: Forged from 1075 steel, clay quenched 8 1/4" overall, 3 3/8" of actual cutting edge, .200" thick at the ricasso with nice distal taper forged in The blade is 1 1/6" tall at it's tallest, from spine to heel of the blade Bronze collars, file fullered Blued and coin edged spacer Stabilized box elder burl handle. This is all natural with no dye. I love the colors on this, especially the red line that wraps around the butt end. File fullered butt end. __________________ John Doyle You have nothing to fear but fear itself...........and bears. |

Thats one great looking knife, plus ive always been a big fan of box elder burl.
Is that 1/2 of a corby rivet on the butt of the knife? |

Ooooooh, I like that John. I've got a decent chunk of that wood that I need to process and send off to be stabilized. That handle makes me that much more anxious . Nice work.

Thanks for the comments guys.

It's pretty much the same thing. It's like the female half of a corby but I made it out of bronze rod to match the collars. __________________ John Doyle You have nothing to fear but fear itself...........and bears. |
