Here's some pics of one I finished recently for a collector. I think this is a mean looking little knife. Very compact and lightweight.
Hand forged from W2 steel, clay quenched and etched
7 3/8" overall, 3 3/8" blade, .160" at the ricasso with full distal taper
False edge, just shy of sharp
Heavily rounded spine and ricasso edge
Black g-10 collars
Thorn and vine fileworked titanium spacer
Stabilized Hawaiian Koa
Claude Scott made the sheath and did a great job of it too!
All comments and discussion welcome.
Clean, clean John. I really like this one. Everything works. Excellent work.

i really like the look of your hunters John
I agree. Very nice looking knife. Are these take down knives with the screw in the back?
Thanks guys. I appreciate the feedback.
Jason- I see you're on the list for the Seattle show. Looking forward to meeting you there.
Jared- this is not a takedown. I just use that for assembly/disassembly while working on it. It's just a nice way to finish it off.
john,both the knife and sheath are so beautiful .and I like the sheath very much. <img src=' http://www.americanbladesmith.com/ipboard/public/style_emoticons//smile.gi f' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />
