Light wieght drop point hunter

[Matt de Clercq]

My Dad hikes a lot so I built him a knife that is as light possible but can still be a knife that he can rely on. It's .150" at the ricasso, 4" of cutting edge and 8.5" OA. The steel is 154cm and the handle is stabilized figured Maple with carbon fiber and hidden pins. Thanks for looking. All comments and critiques welcome.

Thank you, Steve. We had Xmas a few days early so I have already got to watch him break it out and cut a bunch of stuff that "needed" cutting. Making knives for people is so cool. I wish I could deliver them all in person.

That looks great Matt nice job. I like the carbon pins with wood combo.

Thanks Justin, me too. They also sand down even with the wood so that is a small plus too.

Super tang taper and blade finish is clean, clean, a winner for sure.
