Description: Journeyman Smith Jim Arbuckle resides in Yorktown, VA. He started making knives in 1979 and has been forging knives since 1996. Growing up in Washington State, he spent most weekends hunting and fishing and has a great understanding of what features make a knife perform well. This Hunter Utility is a perfect knife for field dressing and butchering game after the hunt. The low profile blade is useful for cutting tight corners such as when removing intestines. It will also make an exceptional bird and trout knife.
The hand ground blade is D2 semi-stainless steel with a hand rubbed satin finish. D2 is known for its ability to hold an exceptional edge while requiring just a little bit of additional care -- to prevent rusting, it is important to dry the blade after use. The convex edge is durable and chip resistant. The corners of the spine are rounded for additional comfort. Jim's touchmark is on the left side of the blade.
Rosewood Dymalux handle scales are set on a full tang for strength and durability. Dymalux will hold up exceptionally well to the high demands of a hard use outdoors knife. The handle is contoured with a deep choil - this semi-circular cut-out allows the forefinger to rest comfortably and makes the knife easy to hold in several different grip options.
To keep the knife close at hand, a hand stitched pouch style leather custom sheath made by Jim is included.
Excellent work throughout!
