subtle clip point guardless hunter

[J. Doyle]

Here's another commissioned piece. This was presented to a drug task force officer at his retirement banquet. It's a clip point hunter. This one is a little less detailed and more subtle than some I've done but I like it, right down to the straight grained wood handle.

Specs:
Hand forged from 1075 steel, clay quenched and etched
4 1/4" blade, 8 1/2" overall, .205" thick at the ricasso
Rounded spine and ricasso edge
False edge, almost sharp
German silver fittings with blued and coined spacers
Desert Ironwood handle

All comments welcome.
