A friend of mine drew the Henry Mountain Buffalo tag this year after 30 years of trying.
He doesn't know its coming but I made him this knife to maybe add a little mojo on his hunt. Buffalo horn scales. The stuff is incredibly hard to find without having to purchase a whole skull. It was an expensive experiment but man does it go well on a knife. Cross draw holster and buffalo nickel concho.

Thanks again and happy hunting to you all.

Todd,
That is a nice combo! Built tough without too much flash. Good job!
Great looking knife, fantastic job on the sheath!
Thank you! I'm very novice on the leather work but I get a little better each time I build one. Dang near as much goes into a sheath as a blade!
I really appreciate the compliments!
Todd
Nice looking knife Todd. Like that sheath too.
Very nice set up! I like the finish on that blade.
Sweet looking knife,I love that handle and the size.
You did a great job , Fantastic looking knife.
Thanks all. Really appreciate the comments!
Todd
I read these posts and just drool! That's a beautiful combo, Todd.
Beautiful work.
Awesome work.... AND a really nice gesture of friendship!
Really good looking and it looks very comfortable in the hand.
Love the blade finish.
Your comment on the sheath time is exactly why I let someone else do that- I was building five for every knife before I was happy with one!!!
Nice work.
Fine work. Love it.
Really nice work on the whole package!
BTW, that is NOT novice work on that sheath, that is solid leather work for sure!
