recurve hunter

I know what you guys are thinking. "Another Recurve..." But I love 'em. This one is more of a Hunter design with a 3.5" CPM154CM blade 5/32" thick brought to a high polish with 4.5" burgundy micarta linen handles. I used three different size corby screws for a tapered effect on the handle. I like this one. It was a lot of fun to make and I almost couldn't wait to finish it. Sorry my pics suck. I'm not much of a photog. :D But, I tried to show it from different views to pick up the grind lines.

John,

That's a beautiful blade. I like the idea of the different sized Corby bolts too.

They are nice, good proportions, crisp even grinds.
Good usable size, and nicely finished.
The micarta looks very nice on this one, did you pollish it?

The more I look at it, the more beautiful it looks. The little trick with the bolts is subtle, but it sure adds to the handle. Just beautiful.
