You amaze me sometimes by how you can make simple and rustic look so elegant and beautiful.  Great looking blade.

Thanks guys. I don't make too many full tangs anymore.......I don't like how the handle material tends to shrink and leave the sharp edges of the tang sticking up.
So, I fully finished the tang on this one, and rounded it over slightly, and then made the antler slabs just a tiny bit narrower than the tang.

Matt......sometimes less is more   :campfire:

That's a good looking belt knife! Good call on the tang.

Thanks guys.
This is about as basic and simple a knife as I ever make, but it would do a lot of things well. Maybe one like this is needed for the St. Judes auction as it has attracted a lot of attention with the TG crew!
