I made this for a guy in Denmark who wanted a selection of African wildlife represented in the knife.

Blade hand forged San Mai from 52100/iron with etch finish.
Handle of Buffalo horn, Kudu horn and warthog tooth with silver fittings.

Here is the handle stacking process I used for the knife as well. I tell you that epoxy sets quick in our African heat.

Hot as hell wish scattered showers. Thanks for asking. You know how much fun it is to forge in this heat! Buuut I do it anyway so I guess I only have myself to blame.2thumbs
