Here's a nice little guardless hunter I made to take to the Blade show. Really nice and light in hand, compact but quite durable. Went with a dark theme on this one.
Specs:
Hand forged from 1075 steel, clay quenched and etched
3 3/4" blade, 8 1/8" overall, .190" thick at the ricasso w/ full distal taper
Rounded spine and ricasso edge for comfort
Filed, rounded thumb grip
Damascus fluted collars with damascus coined spacer
Premium Curly Hard Maple handle, stained black and oil finished
Damascus Bolt cover
All comments and discussion welcome.
It looks flawless to me. This is a fine example of fit and finish.
Pretty sweet, John. And I like the dark theme.
