I finished this knife yesterday and thought try posting pics. It is a saw mill blade, ebony and antler handle. It will be donated to our local Pheasants Forever banquet fundraiser. I still can't figure out how to post pics. Could anyone walk me through it?

Thank you all for the kind words. Farm Boy -I laminated the wood to the antler and then the complete scales to the tang with epoxy and hidden pins. I have never gotten very good at peening the pins and getting them to smooth right when left exposed. I just drill part way into the scale material and all the way through the knife tang. It adds the some of the strength of a pinned handle without the skill needed to sand them smooth.
