Tiny forged hunter with spalted and curly box elder burl...
This is the latest out of my shop. It completes a commissioned order for two small hunter/utility type knives. One ground and full tang, and the other, this one, forged and hidden tang. This is the smallest and thinnest knife that I've forged.
Specs: Hand forged from 1075 steel, clay quenched and etched 7 1/4" overall, 3" blade, .160" thick at the ricasso Full distal taper and an almost but not quite sharp clip makes for a really light knife with a needle point Rounded spine and ricasso edge for comfort Black g-10 collars Bronze fileworked spacer Stabilized spalted and curly box elder burl. It has some really nice almost koa-like figure and chatoyance. Checkered stainless steel finial nut File carved fuller on the butt end of the handle All comments and discussion welcome. And here's a quick photo of both (the other one, I posted up a week or two ago.) __________________ John Doyle You have nothing to fear but fear itself...........and bears. |
