HUNTSMAN
Huntsman is a relatively new design, fully hand forged from 80CRV2 High Carbon Steel. 80CRV2 steel is a great steel designed to perform. The addition of the Chrome and Vanadium allows for keeping higher hardness without compromising the steels durability and overall toughness. Why do we like to keep it harder? Harder means greater sharpness and edge retention, so less time sharpening for the user. This blade has hand rubbed satin finish.
The Grips on this version of the Huntsman are Black Paper Micarta set onto White and OD Green G10 liners anchored with 416 Stainless Steel pins and an OD Green G10 lanyard tube.
Huntsman comes with a full hand made leather sheath made for scout carry. The straps which are leather backed nylon webbing can be removed and switched to allow for right or left hand carry.
This will not be the last version of this knife due to popularity it has been added to the regular catalogue. For more on this read the article on Production scheduling

You can tell a lot of love goes into making these knives just by appreciating the craftsmanship. Knowing I have a unique knife with the pride of it being crafted in Australia makes me love it even more. The leather sheath is incredible and has to be the best I have ever owned. Beyond just the knife, the customer service was amazing, the owner quickly responded to all my questions and helped me decide on what knife to buy. Without a doubt, i can tell you, these knives are 100% quality, they feel amazing, look beautiful and are special in their uniqueness and craftsmanship. I will buy from SKA Australia when in need of a quality knife, or even just to add to my collection.
Cheers

I was gifted one of your Huntsman knives this winter from a friend from Australia. Just put it to use on a bear hunt here in BC Canada. Broke the bear down with your knife. The blade did an amazing job. Thought you might like some pictures.
