Title: Hunter for a TG member
Post by: Lin Rhea on March 08, 2014, 04:31:00 PM

I just finished this hunter with a 5 inch blade of 5160 carbon steel. The handle is a dyed stag taper. I used stainless and bronze for the fittings.

I really like this one Lin! And 5160 makes one heck of a tough knife, one of my favorite steels.

I love hunters with stag, especially when the stag is a taper. I love scales but a taper is so nice when done right, like this one is. Thanks for sharing Lin.

Really, really nice. Wish you had a loaner program Lin lol. If it was heading my way I might have had you peen the guard some to take off the shine. Might have. Nice bloom on the cap.

It's me,
I kinda fell into this one but could not pass it up because it is such a perfect match for my bowie.

See link if I can make it work,

As many of you have found, Lin always goes above and beyond to deliver a truly custom product. He is currently working on a near twin of this knife for my bro.

Many thanks Lin,
LP
