Warther Cutlery Fixed Blade Hunter

[45Wheelgun]

I just realized I posted it in the wrong forum it belonged here.

I visited the Warther Knife shop/museum in Dover Ohio over the weekend and was fortunate enough to be able to procure one of their new fixed blade hunters in Camo-G10. They are currently taking orders and are backlogged on this knife, but somehow one made it into my possession. They told me they are about 6-8 weeks behind in filling orders at this time.

I am very impressed with this knife all around. S35VN steel, full tag, with their traditional swirl pattern on the blade. Fits well in the hand and comes razor sharp. Each knife is serialized and dated, mine being #246 and made in July of 2016. The leather sheath is well made and the wooden box harkens back to the boxes that Mooney Warther made for his WWII fighting knives. The pins that hold the box together are magnetized so the box stays closed. Very nice presentation for a very nice knife. Priced at $199.

I was able to have it engraved with my name and a date which important to me (the date not the engraving).

Sorry for the poor blade pictures, getting the swirl pattern to photo well was impossible for me.

Congratulations. I grew up with Warther knives, because my father hailed from Dover. I still have a chef's knife and a meat cleaver; my sibs divvied up the rest. They are beautiful knives.

Engine turning is the term I always heard in the car magazines for the swirl pattern, and that is the expression I still use. On gun forums I have seen it called jewelling.

Wow, very nice and a brand/style that I've never seen before. If you are a big game hunter I would love to see a review after you use it for skinning/butchering an animal. OH

Well I wouldn't call it big game but I try to bag a deer every year. I'll let you know how it turns out in November.

I'm not a fan of that hunting knife, but I bought a couple Warther kitchen knives as a gift years ago that I inspected and photographed before mailing. They seem like well-made knives and I was happy with the purchase. I should contact the gift recipient and ask how those knives are holding up...
