October is Pastor appreciation month, and because knives are the best thing I can offer, I decided to build a couple of Hunters, and give my Pastor choice of the two.... to show my appreciation for all he does.
Both are fairly simple, first is a 3 1/2" blade of differentially heat treat 1084, Fluted Nickel Silver guard, and a Maple handle, with 14 coats of Tru-Oil....
Next is the same type/size of blade, but I jazzed up the handle a bit with 1/2 Black Ash Burl, and 1/2 African Blackwood, with a bit of texturing.....
Whichever the Pastor doesn't choose, will be available sometime next week on my website.

Beautiful work, as always. I know your Pastor will have a hard time picking. And I know you will be blessed as well.

They are both beautiful Mr. Caffrey! I'm sure your pastor will feel blessed getting to choose one.Thank you for sharing.
Can't go wrong with curly maple. I really like the overall design. It's very simple and elegant.
What did you do to texture the back of the second handle?
