Description: This Drop Point Hunter shows a well thought out design and displays an amazing degree of craftsmanship. It will make an elegant camping or hunting knife. And will still be a fine addition to any collection.
The blade was hardened by renowned knifemaker, D’Holder and has been double-tempered and cryogenically heat treated ensuring a keen, long lasting edge matched with exceptional durability. The mirror polished 440C stainless steel blade is precision ground by hand with sharp, clean lines. The spine is hand fileworked in a wave pattern, resulting in a comfortable and secure thumb rest. With the distal tapered tang, you are assured a perfect balance in the hand.
The fancy figured stabilized spalted maple burl scales were hand selected for grain and color. The scales meet to a black fiber spacer which assists the scales to adjust to temperature and humidity changes.
The sheath is handmade for this knife. It was wet formed for a snug fit. The pouch style design covers ¾ of the knife’s handle and a woven leather thong is provided for easy removal. The sheath is cut from 8-9 oz premium cowhide should and is handsomely hand tooled. It has been given two airbrushed coats of saddle tan leather dye while the edges and borders were airbrushed with dark brown leather dye to bring out the depth and detail of the tooling. The sheath was treated with two coats of leather sheen for a beautiful, long wearing water-repellent surface. Finally, it was finished with two hand rubbed coats of carnauba wax, giving an ultra-rich gloss. The sheath was hand sewn using a saddler’s stitch with a double twisting lock.
Included with the knife and sheath or the original wooden sheath form and a cd containing the video and all construction photographs.
