Drop Point Hunter
« on: November 03, 2009, 09:13:00 PM »
Finished Drop Point hunter 11 3/4" OAL. forged from 1075 steel with Distal taper, 416 Stainless finger guard and cocobolo handle.  I made the sheath.  I also followed Karl's lead and added a Concho!

 

 

 

I made a "light Box" and I think improved my picture Quality.

Please critique the photo quality and the knife.

Steve

Just kidding Steve. You're putting your training to good use, my friend. Anyone would be proud to carry such a knife and sheath. Lin

Thanks for the kind comments!
Dana, I plan to start "Hot stamping" to get a deeper impression.  I have been cold stamping and it does not show up as well.

Lin, I studyed your "Guard on hidden tang" tutorial which really helped me out!  Thanks!

Steve
