Title: Featherweight Hunter
Post by: LONGBOWKID on November 14, 2011, 12:25:00 AM
Here's one I started and finished today. I have been wanting to do a featherweight model, and decided that today was the day.

The blade is 1/8" edge quenched L6, hand-rubbed to 600 grit, dressed with snakewood scales and 3/16" stainless pins. It weighs in at a hefty 1.7 oz. (0.1 oz. less than your average tablespoon) Blade is 3" sporting a 4" handle. You can just make out the quench line in the correct lighting. The blade is ground thin and it cuts like a straight razor. This one was fun and I plan to do a few more soon.

Thanks for looking,

Brandon
