I finished these up tonight, one is a a nice all purpose hunting knife for a shooting buddy of mine. He brought me a knife of the same design that he got when he was a kid and couldnt find available anymore. He claims it is the best all around hunting knife he has ever used and while im not that convinced with it yet i am very happy with the design.
here is a pic
Differentially heat treated 1095 w/hamon
brass bolsters
mosaic pin and OD green G10
This one is my Huntsman model, 7.5" oal. I actually made the original for a friend for his birthday and about 3 weeks after he came to me and said he liked the knife a lot but thought it was a little flashy, i offered to take the knife back and make him a different look. He asked for yellow handles (how that makes it less flashy im not sure) and a heavy textured/no slip finish. I added some black liners and now he is pretty dang happy with it
