New WTA donation knife
« on: January 22, 2014, 08:44:00 PM »
I finished this one up today. It is a donation for the WI Traditional Archers banquet in a few weeks. My buddy Dave Ricke let me in his shop to pester him & he helped me along when I got stuck.

 Dyed Elk antler for the scales, nickle silver & brass bolster, nickle pins & red liners. Sheath is cooking.

8.5" oal with a 3.5" blade.

Comments & critiques welcome, thanks for looking.
