Here it is....<br>
4 1/4" blade of polished 1095 carbon steel with an unsharpened false edge, Brass guard, black fiber, brass, and manzanita burl spacers, and whitetail antler handle with a 1/16" brass butt carved to match the natural lines of the antler. OAL is 8 1/2". Sorry for the poor quality photos!!<br>
<br>
What do you guys think?

Very Nice, I really like your brass,wood,antler combinations and the blade shape really flows well with the handle. Great Job

Keep it up :cool:

I like that a lot, very nice. Nice piece of stag, I like the transition from the guard to the stag. Nice job!

Take care,
Tom
 
Very nice piece!

I like the way the handle combination went together, and LOVE the lines of that knife. The carved pommel is a wonderful accent to the antler.

Thanks for sharing :)

Beautiful!

Okay, so which came first: The stag or that sweeping blade? (This is a real question, I've always wondered how other makers aproach this.)

Dave

P.S. No apology for your photography!

the main bevel is hollow ground on a 10"wheel, the false edge is flat ground.
