That sombrero hunter trips my trigger!  I think the contrasting dark blade and light handle really make that knife POP.  I think the pins add quite a bit to the handle.  Darn nice hunter!  Does this get one of Scott's sheaths?

Time. I'd be taking a few more if I had the time to make them.

Krazy Maple Hunter!!
It just dawned on me that there are three people represented here in this knife, me, Scott Teaschner and Pete Crowl.
Of course, me - the knife, Scott - the sheath, and what you guys may not know, is that Pete creates this spalted maple.
To do it requires Pete to cut down a certain sized maple tree at just the time of year so that it contains the right amount of sap.
Then he cuts it up, covers it up and baby sits it out in the woods for a year or more always keeping it at the right moisture, checking for spalting, etc., etc.
Then he has to cut it up into blocks, dry it, stabilize it, and so forth.
And I'm proud to have it on this knife.
Thanks, Pete and Scott.

That octo hunter is my favorite knife you've made by far.  Incredible work!     :thumbsup:
