Here's another recent hunter I made. I really like the lines of this piece. It's really comfortable. Super lightweight, compact but durable.

Specs:

Hand-forged from 1075 steel, clay quenched and etched

8" overall, 3 5/8" blade, .195" at the ricasso with full distal taper

False edge, not sharp

Rounded spine and ricasso edge

Rounded, filed thumb grip

Black g-10 guard

Black coined spacers

Bronze thorn and vine filed accent

Amboyna burl handle

Black checkered bolt cover

All comments and discussion welcome.
