Cape Hunter

Blade:  3.5" 1084 high carbon steel

Handle:  3.75" claro walnut (stabilized)

Sheath:  black leather, belt loop, right handed

 

I designed the Cape Hunter for a custom commission, as a hybrid between a caping knife and a general purpose hunting knife. As with many of my models, I liked it so much I decided to make more. The design is ideal for a wide range of tasks. It is comfortable in the hand, with a contoured full tang handle shaped for multiple different grips. This is a small, sturdy, “using” knife, meant to work hard and take a beating.

If you are not a hunter, don’t let the term scare you away; this knife has outstanding utility outside the context of hunting. Hunting knives in general are nearly always compact, durable knives with versatile profiles and rugged edge geometry. This design is no exception.

High Carbon Steel

Nearly all of my knives are made using high carbon steel. It is superior to stainless steel in almost every way, but you need to know how to take care of it. It is important to understand what you’re buying.

Want something custom?

If you would like to discuss a custom order, send me a message here to start the conversation. Your email will come to me, and I will respond personally. Tell me as much as you can about what you envision so that I can begin to frame the project in my mind, and we’ll go from there.

Pricing on custom work ranges from $100 on up to $10,000 and more, depending primarily on the complexity of the piece.

Lead time (i.e. when the knife might be complete) depends on what I have on my books at the moment, but in most cases 6 months is a safe guess.
