Utility/hunter

[Raymond Richard]

Here's my latest plus a new steel for me. The blade is out of 1080+ and its 4", the fittings are iron on this one and not of the wrought like I normally use but still from a wagon wheel. I'm not sure if the handle is deer or elk stag but I sure like it. 7 3/4" overall.

Hey Ray,
Great looking knife. Looks like it would make quick work of gutting and skinning. Wade

Nice as usual. That handle is great! What's the 411 on the 1080+?

Knife looks great Ray. Iron fittings look great with the blond bone. Very cool. And the quench line came out better than I might have expected with this stuff.

I've been thinking about ordering some + to try, but wasn't sure the analysis they give would give properties that much better than 1080.

I take it you like it? Beyond the obvious just looking good I mean.

Got me scratching my head with the 411 but I'll take a stab at it, you must be a civil servant. My wife watches all the CSI so I'm really up on my numbers plus most are still reruns so I've had a double dose.

Ray, 411= information. Got that from my 16 year old grand daughter.
How do you compare it to Aldo's 1084FG?

I don't have any of Aldo's 1084FG. I really don't need anymore new steel unless I live for another 80 years.

I haven't spoken 16 year old daughter language for 16 years.

I like this little hunter Ray. If I were a deer I would beg to be gutted with it. LOL

Ray that is beautiful. It seems to flow from one end to the other. Like it is just one piece. Very elegant.
