Chevron Hunter
« on: March 02, 2009, 01:09:00 PM »
Hi everyone,  we finally got our computer back from the shop after the virus fix.  I finished this little hunter up last Friday.  Handle is slab sidded bone with bolts and 416 ss guard with a forged O1 blade about 4" long. Knife measures less than 5/8 at the guard.  I hope you like it!

Thats sweet...I like the overall shape...did you use a dremel for the
"bead" effect on the handle?

Hi Montauks,  I used a Foredom tool with a flex shaft and a 1/32" ball cutter.

Those are pretty much my ideal proportions on a hunting knife!  Very nice job!

Oh, uh, do you need my address?  :p
