The 'WJ' Recurve Hunter
Named after one of the last great ivory hunters out of Mozambique - Wally Johnson.
A gentle recurve leading to a broad, dropped point hunting blade. Crafted in stainless steel of the customer choice - this blade not only looks great but will perform too! Filework on the spine and tapered tang is standard on this model. Also available as a 'Compact' version with a 100mm (4") blade.
A rounded brass finger guard, a full, tapered tang, a finely detailed mosaic pin and a lanyard tube ensures that this tool is practical for the field but is still aesthetically pleasing. Vulcanized fibre liners and oiled hardwood/stabilized wood/synthetic material of customer choice will make this a personalized knife that is ready for work. A fitted leather sheath with toolwork comes as standard with the 'WJ'.
Starting at €750, the 'WJ' is something a little special and will certainly stand out from the crowd on your next hunting trip. Please get in touch to discuss the specifications of your 'WJ' and a quote.
