We've all seen excellent ABS style forged hunters. I haven't fired up the forge in nearly two years, but I still like to make a stick tang hunter once in a while. That way if I ever join the ABS, I'll be in the ballpark. This blade is 3/16 1080 carbon steel at 60 RC, shaped by stock removal. The guard is brass (nice fit!) and the contoured handle is some good striped cocololo.
