I'm a bit behind on posting this one. I don't make very many hidden tang knives but I'm happy with this one and I think It's gonna stay with me. Steel is 1084 with the knife being 8 1/4" overall with a 4 1/4" blade. The handle is elk antler, the guard and end cap are stainless with black and red G-10 liners.

I got in a hurry when I was cutting the guard out and nicked it with my cutoff wheel, I thought I would be able to sand it out but it was just too deep. You can see the cut on the guard right under neath the pin. I can live with it since I'm going to keep it but lesson learned I guess.

Nice work   I like the end cap you put on it.

Nice one.  Elk  looks good on the blades you are making.

That is a very cool blade. Probably my favorite of yours to date.

Awesome!

You'll notice the "luckiest" elk hunters have worn out boots.

Thanks guys, appreciate it. I've been looking at the knife and wish I would of made the blade a bit longer. I drew a couple others out today and I think I'm going to make another one with a blade that's a bit longer. Just have to find the perfect antler, that's the hard part.

Looks great, you sure chose the right antler for this one!

that is a great looking knife!  I like how the antler is not ground down too much.
