Roe deer antler, 11 layer blade of 1084 and 15n20, bronze liners and washers, brass pins, and a steel pivet...
This particular knife was a challenge, every step of the way it fought me, but I prevailed in the end...
I was given this piece of antler along with 2 others because my friend thought they were pretty but just too gnarly to use. I had to strategically remove a point or two but was able to modify it enough that it is comfortable to hold, particularly in the right hand, and it was just too pretty not to use.... The blade looks better in person, the evening sun was making capturing a good image difficult.
Thanks for looking.
