Tactical Hunter? {Sheath pics added}
« on: April 04, 2012, 09:15:00 AM »
Or a tactical trailing point, or maybe a persian fighter? This is probably the last one I will have time to finish in time for the OKCA show next week.
It is a lot different than the majority of my "tactical" knives, but I think it has really cool lines. What do you think?
Oal is about 9 5/8", with a 5" blade of .214" 5160.

Call it what you want, I think it's a good, functional, design that you have masterfully crafted.

I like all of your work, Ben.  Very cool work on that micarta.  When I saw the first pic, I was wondering what type of horn it was....  until I scrolled down to the close-up.   :D

Nice job, as usual.   :thumbsup:

well tactical i say not!  i would say a bush craft skinner i like more curved blades for bush craft and that knife looks very simple, tough, full tang and lanyard hole.  great job though. id carry that sucker in a heart beat. and of course my favorite color being black is even more of a plus.

I can't decide which I like better the knife or the sheath!  This would be one I would love to own!

Thanks Doug, "Gator hide", I might have to use that!! It is actually very comfortable to hold and it gives excellent grip even with gloves on.

Looks nice, Ben. Not too deep a spine on the trailing point, which I like.

Yeah that is a great looking knife for sure.  One thing I get out of seeing it is that it begs to be USED.  That would be an awesome hip knife for a hog hunter.

You are a talented fellow for sure....as are a great many of the knife guys here.  I find myself wanting new knives every time I come here to check out the newest pics.

Thanks for posting it.

Oh I forgot something....

What does Trailing Point mean?
