The Hound Knife

Originally the Hound Knife has been tailor-made for dog trials as prize. This model is known as the Hound Knife, although it's suitable also for other hunting dogs' owners, like for those hunting with gun dogs. Dog knives are made for use, thus the materials are chosen to last; the handle is made of varnished curly birch with brass bolster. The dark stripe on the upper end of the handle is made of leather, and there's a cast bronze hound head on its pommel. The blade is 10cm long polished carbon steel. The sheath is made of light-coloured leather with brass fittings, and there's a burned stamping on it, chosen after its purpose of use. Technically similar knife is on production but with a spitz head in it, and it's called the Elkhound Knife.
