Been a while...

[LONGBOWKID]

Haven't had the time or really any desire to make a knife in close to three years. The bug finally bit me again this last weekend and I can't say I haven't missed it. It was nice to be back in the knife shop.

Also the level of craftsmanship, talent, and willfulness to help one another is one of the reasons I enjoy posting here.

It was a little tricky getting back into the groove but overall I am pleased with the results.

This is my take on a clip point hunter made for a good friend. 5" blade around 3/16" thickness at the riccaso with a distal taper in both directions, making this blade very lively in the hand. Edge quenched L6 steel with cocobolo scales, hammer Finished bolsters with bronze pins.  Thanks for looking.

Nice Brandon. Like the shape of that handle, looks comfortable in the hand.

I'm sure glad to see you making again. That's a great knife. Very well done.
