Utility/Hunter with black & green g-10

[J. Doyle]

Here's a utility/hunter I just finished.

Specs:
1080 steel, clay quenched
8 1/2" overall, 4 1/4" blade (3 3/4" sharp), .180" thick just in front of the thumb grip
Black g-10 bolsters, dovetailed
Olive green g-10 scales with black g-10 liners
Black carbon fiber pins and lanyard tube
False edge, not sharp
Filed thumb grip
Tapered tang, tapers down to .018" at the butt end, that's pretty thin.

Any/all comments and discussion welcome.

Great looking knife! The quality of the craftsmanship is superb. The doveitailed bolsters look great alongside the black liners,especially when viewed against the tapered tang and the profile is very nice. Just my kind of knife!!

I really like that one. Elegant, clean, and super functional. And it doesn't hurt that green/black is one of my favorite color combos. Bravo!

Very well done! The etch on the blade looks flawless! Would you mind sharing your secret to getting the quench line to show so nicely? Did you water or oil quench this one?
