This knife is older than I am.(I'm *cough* 42) It was my Dad's, a Buck made in USA. That's all I know about it. I remember it always hanging from his hip growing up. Hunting, home kills. Same knife for everything. I got a new sheath for it when he gave it to me as he has lost his old one. Now it has a new lease on life.

This is one is the third different set of luminous handle material that I have tried and probably the best option I have found yet. The handle glows very well, but needs to be exposed to a fair bit of light first. The material is a little different to look at and to work with compared to the other luminous material I have used before. It seems to be flakes of luminous material mixed into some sort of resin. The handles are very hard and take a lot of sanding to finish well. They look a bit plain in the day light, but really come to life when they are in the dark.

This knife is a version of my hunter pattern, but with a bit more drop at point than normal. The steel is 3.5mm Nitro V with cryo treatment. The blade is a full flat grind. The handle is a tapered tang, with the luminous resin scales, green G10 liners and stainless Loveless bolts & lanyard tube.

The bottom two pictures show the handle in a dark passageway, then sitting on a bench top in a completely dark room

Using this this morning. It’s an old Blackjack made by Bark River. 1095 steel. A bit thick and heavy, and ugly too. But handles and cuts like a demon. It has a good high and thin edged convex grind.

Hope you like it! Thanks for looking!

Nice design and beautifully executed. Tapered tang?

A slicer for my daughter. RWL34 and acrylic with copper corbys.

Another Jack 3.0 completed today with new full length sheath.

Now that is bloody gorgeous!

@gimp

This is an original Cold Steel master hunter. Ive had it for over 35 years now. 1095 steel (they called it cryo steel but thats what it actually was).

Cool. I like mine. The new blade shape is a bit different. Obviously you like it if you've kept it for that long!

It had more belly but has been honed away over the years. Like it - sentimental and practical.
You aroused my interest - have just ordered another one but in VG10 (made in Japan version).

Thanks Southcity! No, it’s not a tapered tang. Blade on this one is so thin, a tapered tang would make no sense.
