8 below for the high today so after chores figured it would be a good day for computer work... Anyway I only had a few minutes to finish this one up and brought it to the house with me. After a couple so-so blades I got one to show like I wanted. Forged the blade from 1/2" round a buddy gave me. Clay coated and quenched in Parks 50, 3 3/4" W2 blade, mortised elk horn scales and peened pins.      

Thanks for looking

looks great Doug!!

That's really a sweet knife, Doug.
Hamons will either thrill you, or drive you over the edge.
It's a dance - and it seems like you're on your toes, here.
Cool.

Beautiful!

very nice!

Very nice!

Pretty hunter. Good looking elk scales too.

Love it Doug! Great work on the hamon. I am sure it won't be your last. The whole knife has fantastic lines and the hamon really adds to the whole package.

Wow, beautiful work. Looks like some really functional art.

Doug, that's a great looking knife, I like every thing about it!  And the Hamon looks fantastic and a great image capturing it too!

Love it! Look at that handle shape too. Very good.

That looks awesome.

Nice job overall.

That's really a very cohesive, well-designed knife.  I echo what Ben said.

Beautiful knife, Doug!
