Small Hunter

This is the second of the 3 knives I've been working on recently.  It's a small hunter for my second beta-tester.  He cleans lots of game every year and promises to give it a full workout.

The blade is 1084 carbon steel like all my recent knives.  This one also started as 3/16ths stock.  The blade is 3 inches long and a little over an inch at it's widest.  The handle is stabilized maple from my brothers wood pile again.  The sheath is only my second pouch sheath, and I ran into some odd problems dyeing it.  It must have gotten some contaminant on it, and so it looks weathered already.  Hopefully that will teach me to clean my work bench...
