Aggressive snakewood hunter

[J. Doyle]

Here's the latest off my bench. A mean little hunter/utility with an aggressive look. I think it wants to grow up and be a fighter.

Forged from 1095
8 1/4" overall, 3 3/4" blade
Black g-10 collars
Angle-cut coined bronze accents
Snakewood handle

It's amazing to me that we beginners get advice from someone who makes knives as good as that. That is an amazing knife. Thanks for sharing!

Beautiful knife, as usual!

 

[Smallshop]

very nice!!

 

[John Wilson]

Instantly recognizable from both a style and quality perspective. That’s the mark of an elite maker, imo.

 

[Von Gruff]

Beauteous style, fit and finish

Incredible work. I am currently working on the design for a very similar knife. Kind of a hybrid Bowie/hunter, but scaled down. My skills are not we’re yours are, but it’s looking to be a fun project.

Zounds. That is a beaut. Thanks for showing us newbies how it's supposed to be done.

Eeew wee I like that file work off the spine! John you out done yourself on that one!!!

Very much a signature John Doyle knife and absolutely stunning as always. Great craftsmanship, John. I have not seen the angled cut on the brass spacers before, unless I was just not looking properly. I like that. It has a little different look to it.

Super fine!

That is a beautiful knife. What did you use to cut the coined spacers.

Just a tiny little 3 square file and my hands and eyes. Thanks for the comment.
