Awesome work, but I would grind down the blade a little so the finger guard sticks out to give it a more aggressive look. Still, an awesome piece.:gogdog:

[Hawaiian-Stylan]

:bow:Nice work! But uhhh



You don't have a mark? :idunno:

[ciulkwens]

Lone Wolf, you're right, but it's an user, not a killer ;)

borinquen, pins are made by my friend- Fred..
and if you look carefuly you'll see crack in G10 near lyanard tube :(

Hawaiian-Stylan, knife is not marked on customer request
i have my mark, here it is

Big knife... with a bigger handle!!! That looks like a comfortable user. I like it.

Also, white G10 is very attractive in this knife, to me. Do you have a website? Please post more of your work for all to see.

[Mike Stewart]

That is a very large Hunter.

Your customer should be very happy with it if he wanted a real handful.

How did you finish the Blade?

D-2 does not want to be polished very easily.

Mike..........................:biggthum:

[ciulkwens]

robertmegar, handle is BIG and comfortable in different grips and different hand sizes, even I was impressed... :)
I like white G10 too even more, because its only avilable for me... ;)
I don't have web site, but I'll post all may pics here,

Mike Stewart, customer was really happy,
yes, D2 is tough to polish, that's why it's finished on fine grit, then buffed a little (but not polished) and then a little etched, so its dull (darken) but will not catch stain so easely

[Mike Stewart]

I guess my only real suggestion would be to move your lanyard hole in and down a little more to give you more handle material behind it to prevent cracking.

We sometimes have that problem if the perimeter is too agressively cleaned up in that area.

Aside from that the knife looks very well though out and executed.

Do you have any more pictures of your work.

We love pictures.
