"Pocket Knife" In Stag and Copper

[Will Leavitt]

This is going to Kevin Jones..... I'm beginning to think them fellers have cameras in my shop. I was going to make this one for myself and he brings it up... ah well, probably in a better home anyways

1084, from Aldo, whooped into submission and a knifelike shape by moi.
400x hand rubbed finish
Red Deer Stag scales, just dyed where I sanded them down
Copper pins and tubing, filed to match the stag
Black Liners, tapered tang
6 7/8" overall
2 3/4" cutting edge

Critiques are always welcome, thanks for taking the time to look at another one of my simple knives.

You can always pull the fob off and use it for fly fishing in a survival situation

Very nice, Will! Do you happen to have a close-up of what you did to the pins? I'd be curious to see that.

So, the sheath is designed to be carried in a pocket?

pretty cool Will

i deffinitely can see a ninja monkey carrying that blade, very stealthy......of course only in special gov ops situations

Pj, yes the sheath is designed to be carried in the pocket. The clip will rotate so it's more comfortable, you can also wear it on your belt or inside waist band carry (I'm a CCW holder and only recommend this carry if you've checked your local laws.)

No close up of the pins, I used my rotary tool and riffler files and sandpaper to follow the contour of the stag, first time I've done it. Not as hard as I thought it would be and I think it's a nice touch.

An IWB knife sheath, that's a cool idea. Nice job again on the blade, I don't normally gravitate towards antler handles for some reason, but I really like this one a lot.

Henry, with stag it's $100 including shipping. The spine is tapered from 1/8" to a "smidge" over 1/16, the handles on this are thicker than I would normally use, I've got to order some more stag in thinner scales.

Feel free to email me if you're interested in a similar knife. will46r at yahoo.com
