A "Push" Hunter

[kbaknife]

I realize this will not be everyone's "cup of tea", but I thought I might toss it up here for folks to ponder.
The point is, the person who ordered it loved the idea.
As a matter of fact, he's the same guy who ordered the Damascus Elmer Keith knife I made last year for the Janesville Show.
He thinks out of the box a bit, and that's what makes the knife world go 'round.

1095/420 SS San Mai, curly maple and silver wire inlay. (Take-down.)

I realize after seeing that second picture that maybe a closer shot of the spacer area was in order.
The polished facet caused a little distortion.

Very nice, Karl. Glad to see more of your stuff and especially glad you're healing up. This style may well not be everyone's cup of tea, but I can't imagine anyone not appreciating how good it looks and how nice the craftsmanship is. Thanks for sharing it.

Karl, I think it is fantastic! Love the wire work too, have not see that from you in a while.

I am interested how the "take down" configuration works.  I made a few full tang versions and like the idea of the take down feature.

I hope you are on the mend.

I like that idea. I personally like push daggers as well, but they are illegal in Canada. I don't know if a single edged hunter with a push type handle would be kosher here or not, but I have thought about building one along those lines. The outdoor edge game skinners are legal here, so maybe. Another of those real helpful laws keeping us all much safer      :rolleyes:  
Nice work Karl.
