Title: A little different hunter
Post by: Track on June 23, 2014, 01:25:00 PM

Here's one I just finished. A little different handle. Blade is 4 1/2" and the knife is 9 !/2" overall. The handle wood is spalted hackberry.

A pic of the file work. I used bronze for spacers.

Thanks guys. I've been doing full tangs for a while now, but I think I'm going to get back to some hidden tangs soon.
