Title: Keeping with the theme... Walnut Hunter
Post by: Lamey on September 03, 2012, 09:50:00 PM

Forged 5160 & Walnut "Standard" Hunter.  Overall length is 11", blade is 6" long, just over 3/16" thick at ricasso.  Differential heat treat, convex edge, belt finish... meant to be used not stared at.  Handle is Black Walnut, with plenty of figure and color.  My apologies for these bad pics, best I can do with my current camera/computer set up.

LORD if that's what it looks like with BAD pics....I'd LOVE to see what it looks like with GOOD photos.  That's incredible right now no matter what kind of photos they are.

That's a beautiful knife you created there.  I'd be thrilled to have one just like it hanging off of my belt on a hunting trip.

Thanks for posting it for us to enjoy.  Somebody is really gonna be a happy camper when the Brown Truck pulls up.

Nala,  thanks,  the pics are just not real clear like I was getting when I had a better camera and loading them through my MAC (which has died).

This one still wating on an owner,  need to go list it.

Very nice Matt. I like the walnut on this one. My camp/chopper is the same materials. I know whoever gets it will be pleased.
Thanks for sharing.

Most excellent!  As typical in ML style!

I'm a FAN!

Matt, I'm hunting this season with the first Longbow I bought, it's always been the one I shoot best!
