Another simple one for a show this weekend.
1084 with antique finish, and sheep horn scales. Tang left proud and rounded over to allow for handle shrinkage and textured cause I like it that way. :D
Blade is 4 3/8" and OAL is 8.25"

That's very nice.
There seems to be nothing else that works like and looks like sheep horn.
It really stands alone.
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.

Now that's a slick knife! Makes me want to do one in sheep horn now.

I gotta stop looking at these threads, it just gets my wheels turning and keeps putting ideas in my head! Great looking knife all the way around. Your antique finish fits it well. I especially like the way you antiqued the tang by the scales.

Thanks Karl.
In about 2 decades of goofing around making knives I had never used sheep horn until this knife. I don't think it will be my last time though   :campfire:
