My knife builds

Yet another version of my hunter blade. Nitro V steel with a tapered tang and full flat grind. Handle is ivory G10 and copper Corby bolts.

This is one I made a while ago. It has a few flaws, so I put it aside for a while trying to decide what to do with it. I was thinking about grinding the handle off an redoing the bevels. But I decided the wood I used for the handle is too nice to destroy. So I finished it off over the last week and it will be going to a keen deer hunter to test for me,

I think the blade is S35VN steel with a full flat grind and a tapered tang. This one has more of a drop point than what I usually put on my hunters. The handle is Gidgee with blue G10 liners, brass Loveless bolts & brass lanyard tube. First time I have used a blue liner with Gidgee and quite like how it turned out. The handle has about 10 coats of liquid wax rubbed into it, so a new finish I havent tried before.

This one is another of my hunter blades. I have been getting some really good feedback on this design. I have one with a hunter who has caped out and broken down 3 sambar stags with it in the last two weeks. He reports that he is getting through the whole animal no problem without a resharpen, then he gives it a freshen-up on a diamond stone before the next hunt.

This one is Nitro V steel with a tapered tang and full flat grind. The bevel is ground down to .2mm before the edge to make it nice and slicey. The handle is camo G10 with a thin orange and white liners & brass Loveless bolts. The sheath is army green kydex.

Just finished another boner over the weekend. Steel is 2.5mm AEBL stainless. Bevel is a hollow grind with a very thin, slicey edge. Handles are from an Australian native wood mallee burl with orange resin, orange G10 liners and G10 pins and a hand rubbed Aussie oil finish.
