Title: Dirk Style Hunter
Post by: Scott Roush on June 07, 2011, 08:41:00 AM
Here is a 12.5" over all, 6.5" W2 clay quenched blade.  Cold hammered texture on ricasso/spine.  This is the one I would make for myself if my wife let me.

Anybody guess the wood?  My block wasn't labeled.. I'm thinking English walnut. I did some fooling around with stains so it might be hard for you to tell. I'm waiting to hear from Itsa Burl to find out. It was in a big box I got from them a while back...

Scott, You have good distal taper in the blade and a nice geometry in the handle. Good looking knife.

Going for your JS soon, are ya?

Thanks a lot folks.

Lin.. next year I hope. I've been doing some knives lately that have elements in them that allow me to practice for that kind of blade. After the show I plan to make my first test knife.. and I would love for you guys to give me some feedback.

Scott,

That is my favorite from you by far.

The quench line in the blade looks great, and I lover that blade profile.

Well done.
