The Ghunter: A Gut-Hook Hunter With Stabilized Pinecone Scales And Copper Pins
This knife was made for a banker who retired from the NY rat race this in 2017. 8.5" of 5160 spring steel, gut hook, slight recurve, stabilized pinecone scales with copper pins and sharp AF. Note: This is not stainless steel and must be cared for accordingly. I polish blades to mirror finish, some imperfections will remain, my hammer gets a bit heavy sometimes. ;-) But none of them affect the strength or performance of the blades. Thanks for looking and all questions are welcome! Karl

Hi.
I'm Karl. I make things. Big things. Small things. Things out of wood. Things out of metal. Things out of wood and metal. Things out of molten copper. Things that appear in video and commercials. Things that my children will give to their children. And their children will sell at a garage sale 'cause that's what ungrateful great grandchildren do.
I have a workshop in historic Taylors Mill, South Carolina. That's where the name comes from. The Mill. My wife calls it Milly, my mistress. It's a fair criticism. I spend a lot of time there. Making things. And I've been doing it for over 35 years. Furniture. Cabinets. Reproductions. Restorations. Industrial. Mid Century Modern. Craftsman. Shaker. Traditional. I've lost track.
But one thing I know, styles change. Exceptional craftsmanship does not.
I love a challenge. I love hand made. I Love to design and go through the process of creating. But fair warning, I won't make anything you could expect to find at Pottery Barn or Renovation Hardware.
Not even for Milly. If she were real.
So send me a picture, a sketch, a thought, a gleam, a "kinda, sorta maybe it looks like this" and we can start.
I'm Karl. I make things. People love them. And you will too.

For Sarah's Artwork5.0I had a very specific request and he worked with me to get it exactly the way I wanted. This was no easy task because it had Hebrew and English parts on the custom frame I wanted. I can’t wait to give it to my husband for his first Father’s Day.
