Look great. I like the cap on the end of the stag handles.How thick is the steel in the blades?

Kevin,
      I like the bottom stag the best, but all are very good. What Is on the upper stag? Did you dye it? Lin

Doug they all start with .25" stock and flat grind to clean up.So in front of guard its probably .225" then forward on the distal taper to a very fine point.They are all flat ground.

Dan I solder a wood screw on the plate and drill hole fill with acra glass and screw in.with some going directly in the wood so it draws down tight.

Lin was hoping no one would ask because I feel a little dumb.Its an experiment of mine and my wife, she thought it would be pretty if i was Black and that's what I did.(dyed it black)I personally don't like it and she does says its very pretty (whatever)I am pleased with every thing but the color though .Its straight and has pretty good physical balance and visual balance.

Thanks for the nice comments guys

As far as the black antler, if anyone else asks, just tell them it is an antler from a rare gazimbastag from Missouristan!
They won't ask further.
