    Default Polar 95, Antler and leather, with a touch of buffalo...

    It's another of those, 'Waddya think o'this,' threads!

    My latest offering, as the title says, Polar 95 carbon blade, just because I think they're one of the best available, stacked leather, with red fibre spacers, nickle silver bolster, and just a touch of black buffalo.

    So, what do you think?







    The Mora is just to give some kind of an idea of size.

    The knife fits perfectly in the hand and the antler gives a really good weight to the whole thing. The sheath is natural veg tan with just a coat of wax to darken it a bit. The leather will darken naturally over time.

    As always, all and every opinion welcomed!

    That's exactly the look I was going for, proper 'old school' every stalker had one like it, sort of knife!

    Cheer, Hamish.

    despite your impatience Lets face it showing a stick tang on here often gets little in the way of comment.

    I think that a real nice knife and sheath that would be great to own and use.

    Love that lazy S shape of the blade and the handle. Very nice that.

    What Hamish said, it looks very old school, so if that was what you were aiming at you got yourself a bullseye.
