Birdhead Hunter
« on: December 31, 2008, 06:54:00 PM »
I just finished this hunting knife for a young lady hunter , so it has smaller proportions in the handle. The blade is 4 1/2 inches and the overall length is 8 3/4. The blade is 5160 steel, the handle is Desert Ironwood, and the guard and pins are Stainless. Thanks for looking, Lin

Wow! As usual. I see you are mentioned in Blade  March 2009 in an article by a collector "Roger Pinnock" in a list of his favorites. Good one for you sir!!!!

Dang! I did'nt see that in the artcle. I'll take it though.  :)  Roger and Dan are a great guys. Dan Farr has one of the best grasps (pun intended) of ergonomics in the business. He and I have talked at length on it and I have to give him a lot of credit for his help. Thanks Lin
