John,

That looks great!!! I really like the leather work too.  I've not had much luck working with antler, I worry too much about making an irreversible error.  With wood I can make a mistake and still punt.

Again great job

Hey John,
 NICE JOB Man!!   Jigged bone does come out looking real good don't it? I don't see anything wrong with your first time file work either.
That sheath is Awsome too!!
