This piece was somewhat inspired by the Scagle style of stacked leather knives with the deer antler on the butt end. I tried three different antler pieces on the end all the while knowing that I'd finally settle on this one. A slight angle was added to each of the spacer "blocks" to create the radiused arch in the handle.
Blade: 7 1/2"(to the guard) x just over 3/16"(at the ricasso) of hand-forged, clay quenched W2(Aldo) with slight distal taper, flat ground and hand sanded to 1000 grit then etched and polished to reveal a prominent hamon.
Handle: 5 7/8"(top of butt)-4 1/2" (bottom) to the front of the guard, stack pieces of Whitetail Deer antler, White Birch burl, Bloodwood, ebonized Pear, White Birch bark, with two peened copper pins. The guard is hand forged wrought iron with a heavy texturing etch
Sheath: 5/6 oz premium veg tanned leather(W&C) with light tooling, fully lined with brain tanned deer hide. The inlay is a highly polished piece of spalted White Birch heartwood. The antler stud was hand turned on a drill press. The belt loop harness is removable.
