Another hunter with outstanding curly maple

[J. Doyle]

Here's half of my next order done. A guy ordered two hunters for his boys. This one has some outstanding curly maple that was part of a generous gift from a friend of mine. These will see use as hunters, possibly even a few african safaris.

The damascus spacer is a remnant from some of Ed Caffrey's mosaic. I thought it resembled the stripes on zebra hides so it was a fitting piece.

Specs:

Forged from 1084 steel
8 3/4" overall, 4 1/8" blade (3 5/8" sharp), .180" thick at the ricasso
German silver guard
Mosaic damascus steel spacer with blued steel collars
Stabilized curly maple sculpted handle
Handle is 1/2" thick just behind the guard
