Blade shape with Desert Iron Wood handles and no finger groove



So the straight hunter handle on a semi skinner blade? My old straight hunter is on the bottom here.






I found stag and ivory to be heavy. I always did a tapered tang on knives I had built to offset its effect.




One of these days I’ll take the boys a little bit south and shoot a sambar stag with them. Send part of the antler to Dan and have him build me three matched knives.
