Here's a hunter I finished recently. Seems appropriate for this time of year. This is nice and thin, even at the spine and is ground thin to match. It's a really keen edged slicer. Hard to go wrong with w2 and koa. <img src=' http://www.americanbladesmith.com/ipboard/public/style_emoticons//smile.gi f' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />
