Title: 3 finger "patch" hunter

Finished up a little 3 finger patch knife for a tradgang member.  Forged 1080 and stabilized curly maple.

Try as I might to be a non-conformist, I have to agree with everybody else that the knife looks great, Matt.

Very nice Matt! I love the treatment you put on your Maple handles. I am trying to save money to order a new bow by Roy Hall and want that kind of finish on it and want to make a hunter and camp knife to match. When I raise the money I may shoot you a PM about it if you don't mind.

Matt,
I really like the design of that blade...very nice.

Post by: Lamey on December 06, 2012, 08:31:00 AM
thanks all,  specs on that one are forged 1080, 3/16" thick,  blade and handle are 3".  Its about as small as I will make one. Generally I make hunters 4" blade 4" handle or greater.
