old...old school

This is one of those knives that just came together right...everything falling into place.

The blade is 2-1/2" long, made from 1/8" stock 1080. It has been differentially heat treated with clay. It has a really nice hamon.

I epoxied and pinned the blade into a whitetail antler that I slotted, then wrapped it with artificial sinew.

The sheath is kydex with natural buckskin sewed on the outside with artificial sinew. The arrow branded on the sheath symbolizes "protection".

I hope you enjoy!

Very nice! Love the work. My only suggestion on this design would be a chiselled flintstone look for the blade. When I think of ancient cutting devices those flintstone knives always looked so damned cool. Great work though! Nice hamon.
