I have decided to make a series of knives called Turtle Clan. This is the second in the series.
The blade is hand forged 1084FG and is 6 3/4" long and is 1 1/2" at the widest point. The handle is mule deer antler. The fittings are poured LF pewter. OAL is 11 3/4".
The sheath is veggie tan covered in rawhide from a drum head that someone gave me years ago. The cuff is brain tan deer, decorated with glass beads, bone drops and a LF pewter turtle.
Thanks for looking and all comments are welcome.

That's really cool Mike. I like your style.
 
I like that a lot even though it couldn't be farther from my own style.

How is the poured butt cap secured? Did you drill some angled holes into the antler and
pour into them?
 
Thanks Nathan and Dan.
Dan, I used a Dremel tool to undercut the antler with about a 30deg angle.
