I spent the last 2 summers working on this off an on between other projects. The knife has quite a few flaws but it was a good learning  process for me. The knife is 15" overall and has a 9.5" blade. Steel is 1095 with elk antler and blood wood spacers. I think it will be awhile before I attempt another one! Todd Thayn was gracious enough to construct the sheath for me. His leather work is top notch and I was amazed at the detail he put into the sheath.

My that's a big one.......looks like a side project that turned out very well. I like it....... :clapper: :notworthy:
In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities. In the expert's there are few...So the most difficult thing is always to keep your beginner's mind...This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner.  Shunryu Suzuki

That's top shelf all the way around.
When the last deer disappears into the morning mist,
When the last elk vanishes from the hills,
When the last buffalo falls on the plains,
I will hunt mice for I am a hunter and I must have my freedom.

I got to handle this knife and drool over it in person. I'm here to tell you the flaws are at a minimum buddy. You did a very beautiful job.

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

Thanks Todd, the sheath you created for this thing is amazing and photos do not do it justice!
