D2 Stag Hunter

[Ausbrooks]

Turned this little hunter over to my neighbor Phil who does small subject photography professionally. I was pretty happy with the quality which is step above what I can do with my little digital to put mildly - may have to get a 'fancy' camera.
Specs: .187 D2, LN2 cryo, rope file work, ferric etch, 4.5" RC58. Amber stabilized stag, copper and fiber spacers. The 1084 and 15n20 hilt is first forging attempt and made the mokume. Sheath is pig lined 6-7oz. Thanks for lookin' and for comments.

Thanks guys- your comments are humbling as I admire your guys work so much.
Had a mirror polish on blade but wanted it to match the etched guard so etched it and it came out a bit streaky but like the overall look I think.
