I actually made this knife quite a few years ago and left it unfinished. I no longer engrave for personal reasons but it was sure awesome finishing this up.
It is an old saw blade, L6 steel. I added the elk antler scales today for more practice/refresher to match the engraving and made the sheath.

Happy hunting,

Todd, I like that knife! The profile is nice and looks very functional too. I love the antler scales. Nice work!

That knife is a beauty! Well done!
I like that. What did you use for the engraving? Hammer and chisel, pneumatic tool, or rotary?
Darcy :campfire:
It's a high speed pneumatic rotary tool. The same one the dentist uses to carve on your teeth with.
Thanks for the comments....
Todd
Cool. Just curious as I do some hammer and chisel engraving. Thanks, although I am hearing that dentist drill sound in my head now just thinking about it :scared:

Very nice hunter. I like the antler engraving. I'm not a engraver but signed up for a layout class in a couple weeks. If nothing else it will help with leather carving layout.
I would like to learn the hammer & chisel type engraving.
Very nice knife. :campfire:
Very nice. I really like the engraving. Thanks for sharing it.

Another beauty! Great work Todd :thumbsup:
