Jason Brown 3 Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Some times when I'm lurking on this site I see a knife one of you guys makes and from some dark depth of my guts comes a roaring YYYYYYYESSSSSSS! This is one of those times. This is great. Link to post Share on other sites
GEzell 136 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 It is an elegant little thing, I love how every piece complements the others, and I am very envious of your supply of beautiful antler and your ability to make such wonderful fittings... Link to post Share on other sites
C Craft 176 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Very nice, love both the knife and the sheath. Two thumbs up on that one!! Link to post Share on other sites
Richard van Dijk 202 Posted June 24, 2015 Author Share Posted June 24, 2015 Thanks Guys It helps a lot that I was a goldsmith in my past life it makes it a lot easier making fittings. George here is a pic of some of the antlers I have hanging around and there are more cut up. A lot of people hunt around here and take the antlers home but after some time they tend to throw them out often my direction Richard Link to post Share on other sites
