Title: Moose antler and damascus
Post by: Bobby Urban on July 11, 2012, 08:06:00 AM
I spent forever looking at this moose palm I have trying to figure out two scales that would match to my satisfaction.  I finally cut out two scales that have a very similar look and feel with matching dimples at the back of the handle.  Antler is so much tougher to work with than a nice machined piece of micarta.  
7.75 OAL with 4" blade and 2" false edge.

Nice!  I like the damascus and the Moose antler looks great with all those little crack lines.  Very nice choice of materials.

Awesome work!  I'm a huge fan of radically patterned damascus, but for some reason I tend to be drawn to these low layer count blades even more.
