I have a customer in Canada who ordered a new hunting knife - 2 actually - and this is the second one.
I forged the blade from a billet of Single Twist Damascus that I make and when all was said and done, I hot-blued it as well.
The mild guard is also hot-blued.
The handle is an uncommon piece of stabilized curly Oak.
I also mirror polished the spine of the blade before hot-bluing.
Built as a take-down.
