I got home early this afternoon and was able to finish up on the second of the two knives I'll be donating to my local NWTF chapter next week. This is the auction knife that goes with the little raised clip I posted a couple of days ago.
Blade: 4 1/2" OAL: 8 5/8"
1084 flat ground drop point - I did the same bleach etch on this one, except that I didn't do any grinding after the etch.
Handle is curly maple and white tail antler(I guess these would be considered bolsters?)
Stainless 1/16" pins and spacer.
