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!!

 JOHN

Blade handle and sheath are all top notch!

Outstanding workmanship!

Thanks to everyone. Oldpaths, I got the scales off the net, but have since jigged some cow bone myself with a dremil tool and it came out prety good.
