Hi guys, here are 4 hunters that I completed over the last couple of months. Sheaths to come next month. All are built on blanks that I purchased from the U.S. and modified to suit my personal preference.
1st is a 440C hunter that I modified the finger area of the handle on. Arizona ironwood scales with 3/16" mosaic pins. OAL is 8 1/4" and 3 3/4" blade.
2nd is another hunter / skinner with a 440C blade that I did a similar mod to at the finger area. It has stabilized maple burl scales with 1/4" corby rivet pins. OAL is 7 1/2" with a 3 1/8" blade.
3rd is a damascus hunter that required very little in the way of mods. It has stabilized curly figured maple scales with 5/32" mosaic pins. OAL is 7 3/4" with a 3 3/4" blade.
4th is a damascus small skinner / hunter that I modified the tang quite radically on. Took a substantial amount off the back of the spine area and redrilled the pin holes. Scales are natural Australian Morrel with 5/32" nickel silver Corby rivet pins. OAL is 6 1/4" with a 2 1/2" blade.
The natural scales have been finished with 2 or 3 coats of Tung Oil with a Carnuba wax buff and polish. The stabilized scales were just polished with the wax.
I welcome your critic and suggestions for improvements.
