Wow, that came out very nice, I am a sucker for snakeskin and copper though!!

The steel is Uddeholm 15n20 (very tough stuff),
and I believe the bone is a deer foot bone?
Just to clarify, my blades are stock removal,
and heat treated in a forge.

Where is the model wearing the knife? I think your sales will go up with her!

Neat little knife and I love the sheath.  How did you attach/secure the copperhead skin?  I assume it's only "decoration" attached to thicker rawhide backing?

That is one of the coolest looking neck knives I've ever seen.  The knife, the sheath, everything is top notch.  Very nice job, you should be very proud, TRW.
