Hey Folks This is another rescued file,rescued brass finger guard,spacers and butt cap.
Butt cap has a pyrmid shaped point on it. It was a clamping strap that held a redwood 4"x4"
under water for about 20 years left the scale on the butt end to show former life.Yee Haw!
Handle also has epe and antler.
This was a very abitious task for Me and I had a BALL!
As always critic is appreciated and welcome.

nice job, is that your first stick tang?
Thanks Beav My first that is all the way through and attached to the butt cap.
i have never made one that goes all the way through like that. got one in the works though.
good job
Very nice!
I really like the handle it's colors complement each other very well. The stamp work on the sheath looks awesome. The blade seems a little on the small side for overall symetry of the handle to blade size.
Great work and another nice first.
Hey thanks Folks and Rag I believe that about 1/2 to 1" longer would look better too.Thanks for the critic.
nice work... especially on your guard...
I agree with Clay on the blade to handle ratio... and it also seems a bit skinny.
Nice touch with the butt cap...
