That's a very interesting knife for many reasons, and I especially like that little forged choil!

This is my favourite style of knife and sheath, beautifully done. Is the handle material buffalo horn?
 
As always a great knife/sheath combo.

I may have asked before, do you do the quill work?

Thanks everyone! Yes those are buffalo horn scales and the quill work is done by my friend Cindy.
 
TAH - The horn is water buffalo - I cant ever find bison horn big enough lol

Thanks. I figured it was probably water buffalo, but thought perhaps you stumbled upon a large piece of bison for this particular project. Doesn't matter, it's a beautiful knife. :thumbup:
