sometimes doing these very simple, unencumbered hunters is a nice break from the bigger more labour intensive stuff. This one is headed to a Tradganger in PA.

1095 & Curly ash, belt finished, when i manage to make myself a hunter I like them similar to this one-

Are you kidding me!? That knife is outrageous. I think that is one of the nicest I have seen. Nice job.

I love the wood in the handle. Did you use aqua fortis to stain it?

Thats a beauty Matt!

thanks all, i used some Brownells stain on it. Normally I like Chromic Trioxide on any "white' wood with curl, but I was out.

Matt, that is a great looking knife! Big or small you can do it all!

Now that's my kind of knife!

thanks yall, im going to start doing alot more "small" knives. Still have a soft spot in my heart for the big Bowies, but really want to focus on some sharp, tough, affordable hunters.

Looks great Matt. I am glad you shared this one. I am glad your posting some of your work here. I have a fondness for Bowies also but it's hard to beat this size for all around usefulness.

Very nice Matt, sometimes simple is beautiful.

I like it a lot, Matt. Did you stain the ash or that the natural color?

GRAYBEARD · « **Reply #14 on:** February 23, 2012, 08:37:00 AM »

So quit taking pictures and send me my knife already! You're killing me!
Matt,
It is beautiful and I can't wait to use it. I'm glad you felt it worthy of showing it off a bit.
Thanks,
Jed

Pac'em, i hit it with a coat of medium brown/red stain from Brownells. Jed, my sheath man has it now, making a real nice lined pouch type sheath for it.

Matt, I think that's a good idea.

thanks Karl, after doing big Bowies, Choppers, Fighters almost exlusively for 15+ years, the small knives seem amazingly easy, especially on my wearing hands, arms etc.....

That one is sweet!

amar911 · « **Reply #19 on:** February 25, 2012, 11:30:00 AM »

Now that is my knd of knife, Matt! That wood is outstanding and the blade is perfect for a hunting knife to carry in the field. I would love one exactly like that. Lucky Jed!
