Another hunter finished
« on: May 26, 2012, 12:44:00 PM »
I finished this one last evening. I got up this morning and saw the sun coming up and glowing through the window. I thought I would snap a shot of the knife while the light was good. I dont know if I'll have time to get Chuck to shoot it but will try.

The blade is 3 3/8 with an OAL of 7 1/2
Stainless guard and Amber Stag. Yes, this is a Vagabond Hunter named by Chuck D.

Those Vagabonds are sweet
What is life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime. It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset.

I love the blade on that one. I saw it Friday morning and while the picture is good it doesn't do the pattern justice. All along the cutting edge looks like explosions of fire. Its a very active pattern.

I am a fan if a good twist pattern but this one is spectacular!!

One very fortunate buyer. I would just have to show that one to any who would look.

Well done Lin.

The buyer of this knife will definitely be extremely fortunate, just as Chris says. Oh, wait -- that's me!!!:   :D
