Here is the last one i just finished up for the ABS Expo. It has an 11.5" blade of w2 with a beautiful hamon(which i cannot figure out how to photograph. Nickel silver blade wrap guard and ferrule with a n/s butt cap and what i think is a phenomenal piece of stag i have been hoarding for 5 years. Oh yeah it is also the first stag handled knife i have ever done.

:thumbup:+1 on blade and stag. When looking at the overall knife, my eyes stop at the transition of the ferrule, guard and ricasso. I think with some filework on the guard, and some engraving or even some grooves on the ferrule it would look awesome.

That is a great looking knife! The blade wrap is an interesting detail. Looks like that pistol has been in and out of the holster a few times!

You have never done a stag knife? Dang!!! Well now you know that a nice, relatively straight stag carver may be the absolute easiest thing to make a handle out of because their isn't much that you have to do with it other than hollow out the middle and dress up the ends a tad.:D
