Hunter with clay quench, engraving, filework...

[J. Doyle]

Here's an upscale hunter I just finished. I really like the overall profile of this one. It has just the slightest hint of a persian sweep to the blade.

1080 steel, clay quenched
8 1/2" overall, 4" blade .130" at the ricasso
416 SS bolsters, dovetailed
Engraved scroll work by Gordon Alcorn of Bozeman, MT
Carved and textured african blackwood scales
Twisted rope filework along entire spine and butt end
