Custom Knife - Drop Point Hunter's - Stainless Steel Blade - Handmade Cocobolo Wood Handle
Knife is made and ready for immediate shipping. Knife handle is made of tropical hardwood. I am a woodworker not a meta smith so I leave the knife blade making to others. My job is to make a beautiful handle for your knife blade. I started with figured Cocobolo wood. I attach the wood handle with three concealed brass pins and epoxy glue. I shape and then sand the wood handle silky smooth with up to 600 grit sand paper. I finish the handle with tung oil which makes the richness of the wood grain and color come out and gives a natural look. Then the handle is buffed with natural waxes. This fixed blade is made commercially by Wood River Knives from 6A high carbon stainless steel. This high-quality knife is 7-1/4" overall length and 3" high carbon steel blade with finger grip relief make this a great general-purpose hunting, fishing or camping knife. Google Wood River Knives for technical information about their blades. For shipping in the USA; I use first class mail with delivery tracking. Special arrangements with me for Priority mail, Express mail, mail insurance, or signature confirmation. Handmade knife sheath is included in purchase price. Sheath will slip onto a belt up to 1 3/4" wide.

For Spear Point Hunter's Knife - Stainless Steel Blade - Handmade Cocobolo Wood Handle5.0The blade and handle are fantastic. All aspects of the experience were outstanding. Charles was really friendly and communicated well. Between the messaging, and pictures, I knew exactly what I was getting. He was even kind enough to make a left-handed sheath for me.

Beautiful doesn't begin to describe it. It's everything I hoped for. Charles is an amazing talent. My husband and I love it.
