Tiger Caspi Hunter
Such an awesome piece… and honestly I think it has one of the most comfortable handles of any I have ever made. It absolutely melts into my hand.
The blade steel forged from 292 layer go mai with an 80crv2 core.
It measures 8 5/8" overall with a 3 1/2" cutting edge.
The guard is made from bronze with a patina. Followed by a nickel silver shim with file work. Next is an OD green g10 shim. The handle is made from very rare Tiger Caspi wood. The Tiger Caspi will turn a beautiful amber color as it oxidizes. This will take some time... but it will happen.
Everything is held together with a peened stainless pin.
The sheath is a right handed vertical carry made from 8-9 oz leather. Tooled with a Barry King geometric "X" pattern. Stitched with Ritza tiger thread.
