W2 Hunter
« on: July 22, 2014, 01:56:00 PM »
I've been busy pounding out knives, but many of them don't seem to dovetail quite nicely with the Trad Gang "atmosphere".
But, I did just finish up a W2 Hunter that should fit well.
It's one for a fellow who wanted a hunter with some heft to it. Didn't want something rreally delicate.
This was forged from one of those 2+" round bars of W2 with a clay induced Hamon.
The guard was forged from a round bar of 416.
The handle is a piece of stabilized Missouri Walnut.
Very comfortable unit.    :cool:

 


 


 
When the last deer disappears into the morning mist,
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.
