Spear Point Hunter
« on: February 13, 2010, 07:19:00 PM »
I got a little humbled on this one.
When I first discussed the knife with the customer, and then got final approval on the drawing, I'll admit that I was only somewhat pleased with the concept and willing to go ahead on the knife with a 'business as usual' attitude.
Well, as the knife neared completion, I found myself really liking this thing! I even postponed a commitment today so I could finish it!
Then, when I got done, I called the customer and asked him if he cared that I make some more of them!.
I just really fell in love with this little spearpoint.
It is 52100, forged from some round stock and a take-down assembly using a nice piece of Desert Ironwood.
I thoroughly enjoyed this knife - can you tell?

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.

Wow!  That Desert Ironwood makes a *fabulous* handle and really compliments the excellent blade design!

Some nice work right there!

No, I can make any of this type that I want.
I'm probably the wrong guy to ask for any "necker" type knives.
I can find nothing more foolish that to make something really, really sharp and then hang it around your neck.
