One of my customers travels the world for big game hunting (alas, with a rifle). He wanted a light weight D2 knife with a knife pouch as he always carrys his knife inside a pack. He wanted me to use some Idaho mule deer antlers on his knife, so I capped stabilized Jamaican Granadillo handle with some of his own horns. I also applied a thin layer of red dyed maple as an accent between the two handle components.  -  -
