Very nice

I love that the aesthetic is a mixture of old school frontier and new school tactical. Not to wax philosophical, but the Gadsden Flag in that picture ties it all together. The elk and the handle treatment scream spirit of '76 and the modern blade design brings that Minute Man spirit into the current day when those hard won freedoms are again under attack. this knife is the American story from April 19, 1775 to today.

Masterful piece!

I couldn’t agree more with you John this is something that I really like to do when making some of mine. Its so much fun to take modern blade shapes and grinds then combine it with more natural handle material!
