The Maverick Hunter knife making kit is an excellent fixed blade knife kit project. It comes in a satin finish, is hollow-ground and made of 440C stainless steel. It also has finger grooves to increase fine cutting control. This hunting knife design has terrific edge holding properties and comes with stainless bolsters and bolster pins. It also features (2) 0.250 inch tang holes for handle construction (stainless steel pinstock included), and includes a pre-drilled 0.275 inch thong hole for optional lanyard treatment. Properly finished, the Maverick Hunter can compete with custom knives 4-5 times its price. This is a great hunting knife kit design for serious builders.
For handle construction, use any of our .250" diameter rod. Also see "Mosaic pins" for additional handle fastening ideas. The thong hole is pre-drilled and is .275” in diameter.
