University of Michigan Hunter

This was commissioned by a friend of a friend, and an avid University of Michigan fan.

The blade is forged from aldo's 1084, 5/16" at the guard, with a very sharp distal taper.
9"overall with a 4" blade
The handle is my own denim micarta "Maize and blue"

sheath is 9oz leather with random stippling (tool from tandy leather) in the recessed areas

Thanks for the compliments everyone. I showed it off at a party this weekend and even though it was already spoken for I received 3 offers for it. Looks like I will be making a few more
