Looks great Darcy. Nice leather work too.

Can you show us the back end of the knife?

x2 what Lin said. Simple materials but when all put together looks pretty elegant. Enjoy summer!

Very cool-I love getting to see your stuff and will miss it over the busy summer... Really like the pattern in the blade and that bright layer that streaks through the middle. And very nice looking sheath. No one can accuse you of ever leaving that as an "after thought". Thanks for sharing it.

Great looking knife Darcy. Like that pattern and the copper spacer guard combo is super.

Really nice package Darcy, steel, elk antler, sheath everything...

Have a great summer buddy, getting ready to hit here also but the weather has been giving me a little more shop time. Trying to get a few things finished up, we'll see...

Thanks for sharing!

Sure looks nice Darcy.  :campfire:  

I'm sure some notice but I like to call attention to these small details that you add to your work. The use of texture and color, to name a few. To me this sets it apart as way more than just average. We have several here on the forum that really appreciate the ideas and the sharing you give. I do for sure.
