Jason McEntee Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 My wife and I both love the film "The Hunted" with Benicio Del Toro & Tommy Lee Jones. After watching it again recently, she asked me to make her a version of the knife Aaron Hallam (Del Toro) used in parts of the film. When I began researching the blade from the film, I found the producers used the Tom Brown Tracker. I had never heard of this knife until now; I had assumed the knife was a design made for the film. I tried not to directly copy the design, while still making the knife my wife wanted. AS29: "The Sweeper" Steel: 1075 Handle Material: Bolivian Rosewood Overall Length: 10 & 1/4" Blade Length: 5 & 3/4" Handle Length: 4 & 1/2" Tang Thickness: 3/16" POB: 0" from front edge of handle Weight: 10 oz Heat treated by Lyndle Driggers of J&L Cutlery Inspiration: Finished Piece: www.facebook.com/appleseedcustoms/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Cook Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 It's an accomplishment. Whether it appeals to my personal aesthetic or not, being able to recognize your work is a big deal. It takes a lot of work and a clear vision to get there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
