Drop Point Hunter Handle First Impressions by Dale

I received my first Drop Point Hunter knives yesterday & have had some time to evaluate the knife & especially the handle. My first impression is... Wow! This handle is extremely versatile AND comfortable!

Following is information from Bark River Knives: "The new Drop point Hunter is a very close version of the classic Guardless Drop Hunter that was made World Famous by Custom Knifemaker Bob Loveless. This Early guardless Version is unique and an original--made by Bob --would be a much sought after knife by Loveless collectors. Our Bark River Version is one that you can Collect but it is actually made for use in your Hunting Chores.

The unique handle Slabs are among the most secure and comfortable ever designed.

The Drop Point Hunter knife features Loveless Bolt Sets. These Sets all have Brass Collars and Stainless Steel Screw Centers."

These pictures of course do not represent every way there is to hold this knife & may not be considered exactly "proper" but this is what I came up with by just taking the knife in hand & holding it as it seemed natural.

Notice how my fingers are positioned comfortably by the shape & contours of the handle.

This knife IS going to be with me when I'm hunting & will probably become my favorite large game preparation knife (I'm sure I will be using it for other things as well).

I think if you purchase one, there's a VERY good chance that it will become one of your favorites as well!
