For Sale - beautiful hunting knife, never used

#1 Post by gundy » Fri Apr 08, 2005 7:45 pm

Gorgeous hunter with Camel Bone handle that I just recieved and will not use as another hunter I had on order since last year also arrived this week and I like it more.

This is a gorgeous knife and I have only had it a few days so it is new, never been used or sharpened.

5" L6 mix Carbon/Stainless blade, 10" overall of about 3/16" thick. Awesome steel!

Made by Mike Wilson of Wilson Custom Knives in the States, it truly is a peice of work.

I got it at a steal at $220 Aud and will post it anywheres for the same.

If the buyer is not happy, they get a "7 day inspection/not happy/money back" thingy...:)

Stace, let me know if you would still like to be hooked up with a nice hunter...

I have not played the 'pimp' role for a while, but I still have it, I think...:)

What a hot piece of gear. Something I love is having a knife in my hand skinning and handling game meat, very satisfying.

I'd like to be doing it with a knife like this.

Tracker,

You've done bloody well mate! Its a Real fine looking knife. If I hadn't just spent up big on a new bow....... Oh well, you can't have everything I suppose.

There is no use focusing on aiming if you don't execute the shot well enough to hit what your are aiming at.

Yep Mick it sure looks good.. I'm back here looking at the pics again. :lol:

This is not a stainless steel blade but is made from L6 which is a super high quality flexible carbon steel normally only used in band or circular saws in lumber mills. It is apparently notoriously difficult and complex to temper but hardens to RC57 and is particularly good for where the edge may need to be steeled back into shape. Sounds good to me. :D :D :D

I have trouble sharpening stainless steel knives so I have had my eye out for a nice traditional looking knife with a L6 or O1 steel blade. How lucky am I that Guy is willing to part with this little beauty. :D

Great pick up Tracker :)

L6 is an excelent steel and it can take amazing abuse, that knife will last you a very long time.
