Title: Drop Point Hunter
Post by: Steve Nuckels on November 03, 2009, 09:13:00 PM

Finished Drop Point hunter 11 3/4" OAL. forged from 1075 steel with Distal taper, 416 Stainless finger guard and cocobolo handle.  I made the sheath.  I also followed Karl's lead and added a Concho!

I made a "light Box" and I think improved my picture Quality.

Please critique the photo quality and the knife.

Thanks for the kind comments!
Dana, I plan to start "Hot stamping" to get a deeper impression.  I have been cold stamping and it does not show up as well.

Lin, I studyed your "Guard on hidden tang" tutorial which really helped me out!  Thanks!
