Title: "The Long Hunter"
Post by: kbaknife on December 03, 2015, 08:03:00 PM

Well, it's kind of like one of my hunters, and it's, umm, long.
So, there.
In fact, it is basically built on one o my hunter platforms, but is both bigger and longer.
And it's what the guy wanted.
1095/410 San Mai, hot-blued take-down fittings and Ringed Gidgee.
I hope it serves him well.

Oooooooooo, that looks really nice. For a strict hunter, I like a shorter blade, myself. But I'd be willing to bet that knife will tackle a lot of jobs with ease, not just cutting up a critter. And as always, I LOVE getting to see your San Mai.... Bet your customer is one really happy camper with that package  :) .

I'll bet that would make a heck of a camp knife. How long is the blade?

I think it was about 8 inches. Maybe 7 1/2". It's gone now.

Great work Karl. I'm sure it will handle anything he has in mind to use it for.

As a larger knife fan, that looks like a very useful, do anything knife. I like the slimmer lug on the guard, and the no nonsense blade shape.   :readit:    :campfire:
