There's just something about a stag handle knife that makes it a classical beauty.

Works in progress: miniature knife, and full tang knife.

I just finished this one on Feb 22. The blade of the knife measures 3 inches long, 7 1/8 inches over all, and was forged from 5160 Spring Steel. The knife features a brass guard  & leather spacers, stabilized buckeye wood spacer, and stag handle. The tang of the knife was hot fitted into the white tail stag antler handle. With this knife handle, I made the stag antler very smooth. The sheath is made of 8-9 ounce heavy oak tanned leather. The sheath was tooled, molded, dyed, and sealed.

I've been working on this full tang knife off and on for about a month. It's finally completed. The blade of the knife measures 4.5 inches long, 9.25 inches over all, and was forged from 5160 Spring Steel. The full tang knife features an integral guard , beautiful stabilized spalted maple handle, and multiple brass pins. I really like the spalted maple, so I'll be looking for some more in the future. It's reminds me of an old world map.

The sheath is made of 8-9 ounce heavy oak tanned leather. The sheath was tooled, molded, dyed, and sealed. I made a new leatherworking pattern tool for this sheath as well.
