Another Scagel-style

[bennett]

This is another Scagel style hunter I forged. I mis-drilled the hole in the pommel, so filled it with a mosaic pin. If that wasn't bad enough, the pin ends flared out ragged instead of even. It seemed that the nickel silver was a lot harder to flare than brass. I liked the rest of the knife though so I used it last hunting season. Also loaned it to a buddy who I ended up making a similar knife for (cause he wouldn't quit nagging me for this one!). Anyway - thanks for looking, and comments are much appreciated.
Specs:
- 11 inches overall, 5 1/2 inch blade
- forged 5160
- 800 grit finish
- mule deer crown pommel
- stacked leather, red,white, and blue fiber spacers, and a couple of pieces of water bufflo horn make up the handle.

Somehow a mosaic pin just doesn't look right on a Scagel style knife (I realize it isn't something you would normally do). Overall though, I like the knife very much.

You should be very proud of both of those knives.
Very nicely done!
