PMARTINKNIVES 1 Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Its been a while since I've built any hunters, so this one turned out pretty nice all things concidered.(Alot of senior moments) Tapered full tang design, mosaic bolsters, stag slabs and stainless pins.

Rossi Knives 0 Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Wow. I really like that. Elegant and rugged at the same time. Might I ask the brand/pattern of file you used for the finer zig-zag portion of the filework? Cheers, Nick Link to post Share on other sites

PMARTINKNIVES 1 Posted December 11, 2009 Author Share Posted December 11, 2009 The "senior moment" I mentioned was pinning the bolsters 4 times to get them right.
