Another Hunter

Got this one finished finally. OAL: 9 3/8" blade: 4 5/8" CPM154 1/8" thick. Brass guard and tube, mosaic pin. Handle is stabilized Black Ash burl and cinnamon colored spacer.







I really liked working with that wood. It came out nice.



A little filework.



Thanks for looking.

Serge

 

That's a gorgeous blade, Serge

 

very nice

 

Very nice, personally I like a brass guard it goes well with any type of wood

 

That's a nice one Serge, love that wood!

 

That is a great looking knife, I agree with the above statement, the brass go great together.
I do have a question, the voids along the spine due to the file work, is it epoxy that fills it in?

 

Along with the above question, will alumilite dye work in epoxy?

 

Yes
I used it to make mosaic pins

 

That's a really beauty Serge!!! I am a sucker for old school brass bits...

 

Guess I was not paying attention to the brass bits but the way you did that looks much better than I originally thought it would.

 

Wow, very nice! The brass and burl are outstanding together.

 

Great looking knife! Especially like the single mosaic pin - classy.

 

Thanks everyone, much appreciated.

 

Yes, it's filled with epoxy. I use the stuff they put in paint to color it. I go to the hardware store and they give me a squirt of the color I need in a pill bottle. In this case black. I just use a tiny drop at the end of a pop-sicle stick and mix it in with my epoxy.

 

Love it

 

learned something, always mix the epoxy before adding the color so you can tell it is properly mixed.

was supposed to be a quote here but no worky for me

 

Very nice.

 

That's one georgeous knife. One of the nicest hunters I've seen. Excellent chicle of materials and colours.

Fantastic job.

 

I just found out the guy that bought the knife got broken in last weekend. They tore up his house pretty bad. The only thing they stole was the knife I made.
