    This one away today to Tanzania. A PH EDC (professional hunter) with a nice set of book matched hickory scales with lanyard tube over curve backed buffalo horn bolsters on the 1075 blade.

    This Wapiti Hunter has orange liners under the scolloped OD canvas micarta scales on the 1075 blade and is for a Serbian Hunter coming to NZ to hunt. Another country added to the list where my knives have thier home.





    And an AH EDC with this one having mild steel bolster and pomel and a nice set of rosewood scales on the 1084 blade in a closed top sheath with the A H logo away to the US

    Have made a post over there.

    That would be the two part bullet I was casting for a custom 7x57 I built. 160gn bullet with hard shank (lino) with soft nose of a special alloy I mixed that I ran at 2416fps. No leading and excellent accuracy allowing me to kill goats out to 200 yds or so with 100% weight retention and very good expansion. You can see the bond line between the hard and soft alloy on the bore riding nose just ahead of the drive bands.

    You wouldnt by chance be able to put up a side by side photo of the AD EDC and the Chamios Hunter?
    I cant decide between them!
    The Chamois just has a longer and slightly deeper blade?

    They are the most affordable custom knives Ive seen.

    As a member of another forum I've followed a lot of his work and feedback.

    Price is subjective and these are uncertain times but the knife will last.
