Sold, but I thought I'd show it off anyway!
This knife is kinda fun, tried a few new touches.
Stainless Nordic Hunter Knife Blade by Lauri of Finland. Rockwell rated at 57-58. Blade size is 3 3/4" x 3/4" The point has been customized to a skinning drop point, and the spine has custom filework.
The handle...
Brass Bolster.
Black Carbon Fiber Spacer.
Blacktail Deer Antler Ring.
Black Carbon Fiber Spacer.
Australian Brown Mallee Burl.
Black Carbon Fiber Spacer.
Moose Antler Tine Tip.
The tine is naturally shaped, and diagonally laminated onto the Mallee. It's been smoothed and polished, but still has the shape and some of the character of the original antler tine.
This knife includes hand filework, which came out really really neat! The blade has a pattern on the first half of the spine. A series of 7 jewels, 3 strikes each, followed by 3 grooves.
Enjoy the photos...
SOLD!
Thanks guys! :thumb:

Sweet!!!!
When (not if) I win the lotto next week, I now know who to talk to about a Damascus blade / Ebony & Turquoise inlaid handle that I can see in my mind.

Turquois in Ebony... Mmmmm Coooooooollll!!! You have good taste!
I'm getting some good USA damascus builders located and lined up, so let me know when you want to play!
