    Others have seen it as a wolfe but it certainly does have an animalistic apearance.

    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 burlName:  20220313_154851.jpg

    That desert iron wood looks nice, might have to drop in and pay you another visit.

    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.
