New Curves

This is the hunting knife I just finished, which has some curves on the handle design. The blade bended upwards after the quenching, thus the handle design follows such curve.
The handle is very comfortable as well as the rounded guard. The blade was forged from a piece of 5160 steel, the guard is made of stainless steel and the handle is made of a very dense Brazilian wood called Braúna.

Cocobolo Hunter

New hunting knife, made from 5160 steel. It has an overall length of 22cm (aprox 9"). The guard was made from a 1/2" thick plate of 316 stainless steel and the pins are made of the same material. The shape follows the previous ones, although I'm trying to incorporate curves on the front and beck of the handle. The handle itself if made of a piece of Cocobolo that is very similar to the Brazilian rosewood (Jacarandá da Bahia).

Damascus Hunter

A new Damascus hunting knife. The blade was forger from the rest of previous Damascus bar (old files and 15n20). The handle is made of Bocote and pins are stainless steel. The blade received a selective quenching, although it produced an undesirable effect on the Damascus pattern.
