I just finished this new one. It was an experiment working in Antler as I havent done much of it.
Hand forged from 1080
Temper line
Feather pattern damascus oval guard
Explosion "W's" damascus on Ferrule
Copper spacer
Elk antler handle
Twisted firestorm damascus on butt cap with dome peened copper through rod

Just wanted to share. I have 4 more new that I will post in a few days. It took a while to finish and get some photos taken..Stop by and visit at BLADE 20J

Zoe, you are demonstrating skill in both design and execution and have great versatility in your knives. Personally, I don't care for smooth stag however this is a very nice piece.

I enjoyed the exposure to your knives in Harrisonburg a few weeks ago. You certainly have fine mentors in Don Fogg and Edmund Davidson.
Keep up the good work.

Zoe:
That looks REALLY nice. The copper accents are well executed. I am usually not a big fan of antler handles, but that one is superb. Would love to see the next 4.
