Three new ones for me
#299578 - 25/04/17 08:30 AM

These three are quite special for me for the people they remind me of.

The boner with 4 3/4 in 15N20 blade has scales from a walnut tree I felled on my late fathers yard in the early 80's.

The light hunter with 3 5/8 N690 blade has buffalo horn bolsters from a friend in South Africa and end grain olivewood given to me by a retiring knifemaker friend.

The field scalpel with 2 3/4 N690 blade has buffalo horn scales from a few horn tip given to me by a friend in the US.

Nice VG. That field scalpel would be a handy bit of kit and really like the grain of the olive wood.

Very nice work VG. Those are three great examples of your skill in knife making.

The light hunter would be my pick, the style, shape and finish makes it quite exquisite in my opinion.

Cheers

Bloody good job all round matey!
Really splitting hairs here but I have to agree with Bidgee - the light hunter is something really special!

Thanks guys and yes the light hunter with olivewood is my favourite as well. It will be my main carry knife when hunting where its main purpose will be to gut and remove the heads for a carry out.
I have had that piece of wood for a few years waiting for something special so have been pleased how it finished up.
