It's that time of year....fall is in the air and guys (and girls) start thinking about hunting. Here is one of my 'Michigan Hunter' models I finished recently. I don't really do too many 'models' or multiple knives and I don't name many. But I've made and sold enough of these to warrant it. The vast majority of these have been sold here in Michigan.
This one has a pretty killer piece of koa. It's so hard to photograph and no pics could do this piece of wood any justice.
Specs:
Hand forged from 1075 steel, clay quenched, etched and polished.
8" overall, 3 5/8" blade, .195" thick at the ricasso with full distal taper
Rounded spine and ricasso edge
Rounded, filed thumb grip
Black g-10 collar, fluted and line cut
Stabilized, oil finished curly Hawaiian Koa
Take down construction with damascus finial
All comments and discussion welcome.
