S Guard monster

[BenR.T.]

This is probably the last knife I will have time to finish for the upcoming OKCA show.
This is a big boy with a 13" blade and an OAL of about 18.75". The blade is W2 with a polished hamon.
The handle is some gorgeous natural Sambar stag, and the fitting are blued mild steel.
I made a deerskin lined blade sheath, with a custom matching belt stud.
These were the best pics I could take in my little light tent, It wasn't easy to shoot!
Let me know what you guys think.

Outstanding my eyes widened when I saw the guard fit...
All the details are there. Nice work!

Great big knife! The sheath is really nice too.

Very nice piece. I love what you did to the ricasso, that was new to me.
