Another antler and buffalo horn handles Tahr Hunter on 1095 blade in closed sheath ready to head off to its new home in the US.
Hunters have to eat too so kitchen knives are also needed. This is a K tip chefs knife with low layer count damascus, stainless bolster, stainless and Black G10 spacers and a handle of dyed buckeye burl
A Safari knife with Arizona desert ironwood over CB buffalo horn and a Hunter Skinner with Swamp Kauri over CB Buffalo horn.
That desert iron wood looks nice, might have to drop in and pay you another visit.
A no frills skinner with eucalyptus handle and a honing steel for a local farmer/hunter
These two ready to go. An AH EDC with Lacewood and a Light Hunter with Camel bone 0ver black G10liner and buiffalo horn bolster.
Stunning knives. Email incoming. Cheers Henry
This is a full set of kitchen knives plus a boning knife away to texas.
From left top is a 4 in paring knife, 5 inch general purpose, 5 1/2 inch chef, 7 inch chef, Nakiri slicer, Bearded chef and the boning knife with a set of 6 teak knives underneata them. All have quilted macrocarpa on the cryo quenched NitroV SS.
Something different for a hunter in bear country. He asked for a Tanto with a 12 inch blade so this is what I have done to fulfil the commission. 4.3mm 1075 with scandi grind brass bolster and stabilised dark walnut handle. Beach wood scabbard with leather hanger.
lovely...personally I would like to see bigger bolster to ensure no show of hand slippage in a SHTF situation,,,heck a cutlass with hilt guard would be nearly enough...maybe..... Ive never slipped forward on a blade yet...But I do cringe when remembering the slice of blade the last time I stuffed up...its not a good feeling.
Slipping forward on the handle can be a concern but this bolster reaches to the depth of the forward finger so it would take a weak hold for it to be a problem and the slipage is usually compounded by resistance to the thrust and the point design and sharpness of this one makes that a non problem. Light lower handle notches also help with hand grip so I think that any potential problem has been taken care of but then I havent hunted bear or had to address an up close encounter with one either
Customer is happy.
all good,and it looks like a wickedly sharp bit of kit....
