Bakelite Hunter

One I'll be taking to the Little Rock knife show in a few weeks:

First is the movie link:
 

 

 
When the last deer disappears into the morning mist,
When the last elk vanishes from the hills,
When the last buffalo falls on the plains,
I will hunt mice for I am a hunter and I must have my freedom.

Excellent knife Karl. One of my favorites of yours.  

I am sure Little Rock is the last time you will see it.

That is one sweet knife.

How does the hot bluing hold up ?

Some day you are going to make a knife that is not beautiful - if I live long enough to see it.

It is the exact bluing and process as on your firearms.
It may wear over time, but pretty much only from abuse.
When the last deer disappears into the morning mist,
When the last elk vanishes from the hills,
When the last buffalo falls on the plains,
I will hunt mice for I am a hunter and I must have my freedom.
