Elk Medicine...

I had fun with this setup.

I call this one "Elk Medicine." This is my personal knife. Until I give it away, lol.. I can give away a knife no problem but giving away that much ivory I have personally harvested is gonna be really hard to do!

It is a large farrier rasp knife meant for elk skinnin' and general camp chores. It has polished elk antler scales with ivory I have collected over the years secured to a tooled cross draw pancake sheath.

Thanks for looking,

Todd

I looks well made.
The teeth are a bit to much for my taste

Very nice work, good way to remember the elk harvested.

Very cool Todd, very cool. Nice job on both the knife and the sheath. Just cut up a bunch of elk sheds for handles myself. Next time you use that stamp run your pokey tool down the cuts lines. It knocks down some of the stamp irregularities. Particularly if ya do any wet molding and squish the channel some. Running that tool along those cuts will not only fix those irregularities some but help bring it back if it got a little deformed from the wet molding. It would be tough getting rid of that ivory. Memories there.

Thanks all. Really appreciate the advise, Dave!

I can see how not everybody will like the ivory, but I really do. I guess I got a lot of mountain man in me.

Thanks again,

Todd

Nicely done!
I'd worry about the teeth getting rubbed or scraped off and wear them around my neck
To each his own lol...

BTW, Dave thanks for the tip.
I'm learning here
