Antler, Wrought and PW

[Wade Hougham]

Just finished this one for an alligator trapper who also purchased, my last knife, "The Skinner" for his 11 yr old son. This one is 10 1/4" total length with a 5 1/8" blade forged from 1080 and 15N20, 42 layers. Axis deer antler handle, the guard and butt cap are wagon wheel wrought and the bolster is buffalo horn. Veg tanned sheath tops it off.

As always any and all comments welcome

Great damascus knife Wade- really like the antler and buff together and could knock out a fair size gator with that pommel....good work.

jbooker and Calvin,
Thanks for the comments.
Calvin, I use potassium permanganate. I love the color you get when using it on bone, antler and even leather.
