This one as been in the works for a long time now and I am happy say it is complete.
I don't do very many hidden tang knives (in fact this is only my second!) so this one is pretty special and unique.
All of the fittings are blued mild steel for a nice warm look. The guard and pommel have hammer texturing.
The handle is a nice piece of dyed elk antler. The blade has a lightly etched and hand rubbed (1000 grit) finish.
It has a long clip that transitions into a crested spine. The sheath is 11oz veg tan leather with a custom belt stud and a gorgeous Western Diamond Back inlay. This is a HUGE knife, and pictures don't really convey its size. Due to the full flat grind, it balances nicely right at the plunge cut. I added a couple in hand pics.
Anyway, here are the specs.

OAL - 19.5" :eek:
Blade - 13.75"
Steel - .214" 5160 The blade is highly polished, the pictures just don't show it well.
Fittings - Blued and textured mild steel
Handle - Dyed elk antler
Sheath - 11oz veg tan, rattlesnake inlay, custom belt stud
This is SOLD
Thanks for looking!

It was through hardened, then the spine and tang were brought to a spring temper for added toughness.
 
I'll take this off your hands. Please confirm and I'll send paypal (and then start thinking about what stuff I can sell!).
 
It's yours Brummie, I can ship it tomorrow if I receive payment today.
Payment received.

Awesome!! Congratulations Brummie, I love this knife and if I'd have found a black market dealer to take my kidney it'd be mine. :D
