Very nice Gabe. Its beautifully finished with great Ironwood. The guard adds just enough rustic appeal.  
Thanks for sharing.

Great looking knife!  Nearly perfect size for field use!

The blade profile is one of my favorites and the Ironwood is top notch and the wrought works very well!

Did you kill the Turkey?

Merry Christmas

Many thanks for the comments. I did kill the turkey but with a shotgun a few years ago in Mississippi. These wings will eventually become shield cut fletching. I find the fletching from wild birds to be much more durable than the dyed domestic fletching.
