Carved Criollo WIP

[hmarziali]

I am not a specialist in carving but I always liked. Some time ago I decided to try to carve a handle and I am very satisfied with the results.

Criollo carved in collaboration with Marcial Dos Santos (a good friend). Damascus blade made by Marcial Dos Santos,
W1 and L6 of 220 layers.
Blade length: 20cm


The handle is carved in olive wood and deer antler.

I hope you like it.
