Forged Integral Hunter in 52100 w/ Ringed Gidgee

This Integral Hunter is forged from 52100 high carbon steel with a flat ground blade and a long clip point with a slight swedge on the spine. It is an integral meaning the guard and the blade were all forged from of a single piece of steel together.
