Title: A new knife
Post by: Ron LaClair on June 15, 2010, 07:41:00 PM

Hot off the forge, CL Matteo dropped this off today. 4" blade, 7 3/4" OA, 5160 steel, forged and tempered. He aged the blade in a mottled pattern..it looks case hardened. This one has walnut handle slabs, It should be a handy size for most anything.

Well thought out knife.

Ron...You're killing me! Love the knife...Makin' me want one. (Is that possible???) That and a Hawk would be a fine combo to go to the woods with. Add an Oiled haversack and your longhunter shirts and Whoa Nelly a fun filled day trip to the woods! Enjoy the knife and some fun time shooting.
