This one has an elk antler handle with a coolibah bolster. The guard and butt cap are iron. The total length is 11 5/8" and the 1084 blade is 6 1/4" with an antiqued hammered finish.
 
HI Wade, Nice looking knife! I really like that antique finish or weathered look as i call it. How do you hold the knife when you peen that tang end? Or is it constructed differently?

When I peen the tang I wrap the blade in leather and clamp it very tight in the bench vise. Thanks for the comment. Wade

The bird of paradise seems to be shining on this creation!

I REALLY like the way the "bolster" rides up into the guard... Very nice knife!

The hammered finish on the blade AND the cap are perfect when married to the antler!
