Single Twist Hunter
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
What can I say - just a beautiful hunter.
I have an acquaintance here in Northern Minnesota, where I live, who spends the year searching for burls in the Northwoods. One of his favorite is Black Ash Burl.
I was able to acquire a nice burl from him and I got about 6 pieces cut from it that I had stabilized.
This is the first one of them that I have used.
The blade is a bit unique. Many makers - including myself - like out twist Damascus to have many, many twists that show the fantastic character that Twist Damascus is known for.
In this instance, I found that I have a cut off piece of twist that perfectly showed only two twists of the bar. I felt that these two twists showed in great detail what is really happening when we do a single twist.
(The new owner thought so, as well.)
The blade was then hot-blued upon completion.
Put together in a take-down fashion with stainless steel hardware.
