A pair of simple hunters with amboyna burl

Here's a pair of my "Green Canyon" hunters with some nice two tone amboyna burl. These are my simple quick "lower end" hunters.

They are ground from 1/8" 1095. I usually clay quench them and etch the blades.

8 1/4" overall, 3 5/8" blades.

The middle one in the group of 3 has a "No Clay" hamon.

I threw in some pics of the pair with one of the others in buckeye burl.

Sidebar: If any knows why photobucket chooses to upload some of my photos sideways even after I go into the 'edit' tab, rotate the picture so it's oriented correctly, hit the 'apply' button then hit the 'replace original photo' button, I'd be interested in knowing how to fix that. It still loads the photo sideways for some reason.

For being basic hunters there way nicer then anything I've got laying in the pack right now. Would love to put one of those to a field test on an elk this fall. Awesome work again John.
