Title: Elk Medicine
Post by: just_a_hunter on August 31, 2016, 12:19:00 PM

I call this one "Elk Medicine." This is my personal knife. Until I give it away, lol.. I can give away a knife no problem but giving away that much ivory I have personally harvested is gonna be really hard to do!

It is a large farrier rasp knife meant for elk skinnin' and general camp chores. It has polished elk antler scales with ivory I have collected over the years secured to a tooled cross draw pancake sheath.

Both the sheath and knife are very nice. I like the blade shape on this one, looks like a good all around knife. Well done!

Really nice work both knife and sheath.

The sheath speaks to me, I like and need to make a sheath like that.  Neat idea using the Elk ivory.
