Forged Integral Hunter

A staple of my work for years, I don't do integral knives as often as I used to.  I was asked to do a demo on integrals at a recent ABS Hammer-in, and I came home with the desire to make a few. 

This knife is forged from 1/2" round W-1 and clay hardened to produce a crisp hamon.  The blade bevels are finely hand-finished with the remaining parts mirror polished.  The handle is English walnut with little domed nickel silver pins.  The sheath is a vertical pouch crisply moulded but otherwise undecorated.

The blade is 3.5" long with an overall of 7.25"
