This knife is forged fom 1084 I got from Aldo. It was edge quenched in oil,sanded to 400,but I left scattered forge marks. The brass guard is soldered,and it's pinned & epoxied into the antler. Overall length is just over 12", the blade being just over 7" with 6" of cutting edge.The blade thickness tapers from 3/8" at the guard, to an 1/8 before the tip. I sewed the main body of the sheath with artificial sinew, and the rawhide is a leg tie down. I had fun making it, I'll take $70 hhmmm..how about $SPF to Ricky CONUS shipped USPS priority...paypal or m/o

This little knife is unusual as they come. The shed antler has a finger guard made from a piece of fossilized walrus cheekbone, hard as a rock. The guard is pinned and epoxied onto the antler, with a peened pin through the tang. The damascus is from a friend that picked it up at Buck Knives. It was a billet drop off after they sheared the 110 damascus blades back in the 1980's. Edge quenched, tempered, sanded to 400 & etched. Blade is just over 3" & oal is about 7 3/4". Sheath is hand made & wet molded. How's $SPF to Ricky shipped CONUS..paypal or m/o
