Rough Forged Moose With Oak

[Wade Hougham]

Here are my two latest.
Both are rough forged 1084 with moose antler handles, brass butt cap and guard with oak bolsters.
I dyed the larger one that has a 5 5/8" blade and is 10 5/8" long.
The other is all natural and it has a 4 1/8" blade and is 9 1/4" long.
Not sure which way I like best.
Any and all comments are welcome.

Wade, personally I like the natural antler but that's coming from someone who builds mostly period pieces. I do color some, mostly on customer request. A lot of people like it stained though.

Would be happy with both of them. I like the smaller of the two best. Shape, size, and droop in the handle appeals to me, I like alittle curve. Dozier
