This one is 3mm NitroV steel, with a full flat grind and a tapered tang. Handles are Spotted Gum, with red G10 liners, brass Loveless bolts & brass lanyard tube. The pattern of this knife draws very heavily from the Bark River Gunny Hunter. I had some Auctioneers Promise red oil and gun stock oil sitting here and have been thinking about trying it on a knife handle for a while. I had been a bit nervous about the red oil in particular as I didnt want it to dominate the colour of the handle timber by darkening it too much. I was initially a bit underwhelmed with the spotted gum after I hand sanded it, as it just looked like a very plain piece of light wood. I hit it with one coat of red oil and it was amazing how it brought the figure out in the wood. I stopped after a second coat of red oil, then gave it 14 coats of the gun stock oil and think it came up great.

I always take a map, compass and pen when I'm out. But a GPS is a level above so I always take one of them too. Always knowing where you are is handy

🤣 studying the map beforehand is the best preparation i find.

What's wrong with a map and compass linked to the Eyeball MK1. Sure I've been geographically embarrassed but not for long. Once was sitting on a log having a think and a good look around only 30 metres from Joefish and the truck. Grant.

Its the most obnoxious thing a hunter can have

Howdy, from Newcastle. Started bowhunting but still don't know a lot. Looking forward to having fun and learning.
