Thanks guys. Especially you Karl.   ;)

I may have time to work a little on it tonight but it will probably be Sunday.

Might have been the angle the picture was taken at, but in the earlier rough assembly pic, I didn't think the handle and blade really worked together.  Looked like the stag had too much curve for that blade profile.  Boy am I glad I kept my mouth shut about it.  That turned out great.  By the way, it looks like Wednesday, June 4th is when I'll be coming by the museum.  Hope to get to meet you.

It's ok Matt. It has the maximum amount of curve in it that I like but it is a nice piece. I look forward to getting to visit with you.

Lin, that knife rocks. I have a difficult time coming up with the words.
When the last deer disappears into the morning mist,
When the last elk vanishes from the hills,
When the last buffalo falls on the plains,
I will hunt mice for I am a hunter and I must have my freedom.

Wow! We need a "drooling" smiley.
Hard to beat stag and steel for classic durability and style.

Another work of art, Lin. Everything flows just right, really like that butt cap combo.
