Post by: Handforged on March 27, 2020, 09:45:39 PM

Here is a recently finished project. This is a 52100 5" kephart style with a slight redirection in the handle with a full distal taper. It has a Desert ironwood/ Elk antler handle.  Finished with brass pins and stainless lanyard tube.  Thanks Guys!

Thanks! It will be hard to let this one go. I may have to make one for myself. The balance on it is perfect and it feels really nice in the hand.

One more picture. Finished up with a tooled crossdraw sheath, this one is 10oz herman oak leather with a ferro rod loop added. It also had a 3/8 ferro rod with a matching elk antler handle.
