Chad Nell – Improved Antelope Hunter ~ Proto

Description

CHAD NELL  

Fort Henry Custom Knives is proud to be a direct Dealer for Chad Nell custom knives

 Just Received ~ Direct from the Maker 

Here is a knife that challenged my Photographic skills, I wanted to show every detail since I know that Chad spent hours crafting such a near perfect specimen.  

This is the first Improved Antelope Hunter and as such it is marked Prototype. 

This is one of the few knives that is just amazing in every detail.  It has gorgeous aged Amber Sambar Stag handles that have rich dark grain and color.  Slim profile and well contoured, this wonderful knife is a joy to hold.  

Definitely a unique blade design with a near Full Height Hollow Grind. Chad has applied an impeccable Mirror finish to the blade and and the Soldering of the Tang / Guard is so well done that the knife appears to be an entirely Integral piece! 

The underside of the Tang is Marked Prototype. 

Elegantly Tapered Tang with Red Fiber Liners and Lined Thong Hole.  The Sambar Stag is perfectly matched and rich in color and texture. 

 Provided with a Hand Stitched heavy leather sheath also made by Chad and a special Water Buffalo Hide Zipper Storage pouch.

I hope to feature more of Chad’s work very soon!
