Title: W2 Hunter
Post by: kbaknife on July 22, 2014, 01:56:00 PM
I've been busy pounding out knives, but many of them don't seem to dovetail quite nicely with the Trad Gang "atmosphere".
But, I did just finish up a W2 Hunter that should fit well.
It's one for a fellow who wanted a hunter with some heft to it. Didn't want something rreally delicate.
This was forged from one of those 2+" round bars of W2 with a clay induced Hamon.
The guard was forged from a round bar of 416.
The handle is a piece of stabilized Missouri Walnut.
Very comfortable unit.    :cool:

That's a great looking package right there.  What are the dimensions?

Another Andersen work of art.  :campfire:  

Forged 416. Yes, I noticed.    :)

Sorry about the delay in this answer.
Busy as heck and leaving this morning for a three day bow camp.

The blade is 4 5/8" and the overall length is 9 5/8".
