Possum
Hollow grind, micro bevel,Oak,316 pins.Buffalo sheath.
Real guns start with the number 3 or bigger and make two holes, one in and one out
Mirror finish? What the hell! I'd only use that for eating the finest cuts of steak in the safety of my home! Waaaaay too flash for a hunting knife.
I'm drawn to the mountains and the bush, it's where life is clear, where the world makes the most sense.
This is on the way to get sheathed....
Then I'm thinking this might go nicely somewhere as well...once my ol' chum has fitted a handle and made a sheath...

First 3 designs of the line for me, All by hand with files.
The 2 smaller 1084 hunters are tempering as we speak and the larger Farmer/skinner is heading of for a professional HT as its 01.
Quite cool this knife making malarkey, cant wait to blood one

Top and bottom are a more traditional style blade so will go with some nice warm wood. Maybe stabilised burl or birdseye maple, hard stuff to get a hold of here. Thinking they will both get a dark forced patina finish as well.
The drop point will be OD green linen Macarta and copper pins with a 800 satin finish.
I say this but I will probably change my mind about 15 times before they are finished as I see another custom knife I fancy.
Finished My first knife this avo. Made from 1084 high carbon, satin finished with OD G10 scales.
I heat treated it, it took a good edge and is shaving sharp, but well see how well it holds an edge.

Nice knife Nick.
It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
