Community Designed AH Hunting Knife

[Rare Breed]

For anyone sitting on the fence about this knife or any other purchases from @UNTAMED KNIVES let me provide my feedback. I recently carried one of these knives back from Zim for another member here. I coukdnt help but take a closer look (i.e., fondle it) and these knives are really exceptional. They are razor sharp, feel great in hand and the quality of the work on them is phenomenal. I likely won't ever own one of these because I abuse knives and chuck them into drawers. However, for those of you who understand the quality in a good blade and actually use a knife like this for its intended purpose, dont hesitate to take a hard look at these. They are really quite something to see and hold.

That member is me!!! My friend Hooked Now sent me pictures and I get it in my hands on June 6. I will post pictures!!!

A pile of knives ready for final shaping

I'll be honest - I got a little worried. My 61-year-old eyes saw ready for final "shipping". I was like "Oh, those don't look anywhere near as nice as the one he showed." SHAPING... OK.

Haha, I wish I was ready for shipping! I’m pushed a 90 hour week last week and still didn’t get as far along as I hoped. But I will say that they are coming out awesome

The tape is to protect the blade in transit!

I know I know... sounds crazy... but thats what my eyes saw.

Just 90 hours? What did you do with the remaining 78?

The knives look stunning and your hard work is much appreciated. Craftsmanship takes time.

In case anyone is interested, this is how I get the teak wood used for the handles, offcuts from a local furniture shop. This load arrived today.
I then sift through it all and pick out all the good stuff, and the rest will be firewood!

 

[V.Veritas]

Some of those cuts looks really promising.

There’s some absolute stunners in there!

 

[AZDAVE]

I see a lot of knife scales and 1911 grips in that pile.

 

[UNTAMED KNIVES]

Making some headway. All shaped up, just final clean up and polish, then logos and sheaths.

 

[Betterinthebush]

Mine’s in SA still. Can’t wait to see it.

 

[migrabill]

Thanx fir the update. Looking great.

So..........

Sorry for the delay in updates everyone, unfortunately have had a death in the family to deal with, and its meant that I haven't been able to get it done as fast as I would like.

But here is some progress updates:

Gun bluing and oiling under way

the wider image also shows the rest of this weeks workload:

Also been pushing hard on the sheaths. My Mrs has been a huge help here. Couldn't be doing this without her help

And then today I got the kydex sheaths started on them as well

I was hoping to get these 11 done and sent out this week, as I'm going away for a week on Monday. However, with all that's been going on I'm not going to be able to hit that goal. I don't want to rush them, I want them to be as close to perfect as I can get them.

So, here is an updated plan of action.

Im going to continue to push hard until I leave on Monday, then go away for the week, clear my head, and come back the following Monday and hit it hard. All things being equal, all I will have to do that week is sheaths for the whole batch of 20, and then I can send them all out one time, so everyone should be getting their AH Knives roughly at the same time.

Hope this suites everyone, and sorry it has taken me a little longer than I expected to get them all done. But I dont want to compromise on quality, and if I do say so myself, these are coming out awesomely!

Once again, thanks for the support from everyone, its been huge and humbling to have so many willing to support us!
