That's awesome.  I personally don't like the term 'overkill'.  I've never had a hunt end with an animal that was TOO dead.  Is this intended to be a takedown, or did you use something to lock it all together such as epoxy under the scales or locktite on the threads?

Intended to forever be a take-down.
However, I can seal it against the elements.

When the last elk vanishes from the hills,
When the last buffalo falls on the plains,
I will hunt mice for I am a hunter and I must have my freedom.

Very nice Karl.  Beautiful work as always!!  

Does the frame add much weight and how do you balance it?

This knife balances directly where the face of the guard meets the blade.

Where ever this knife ends up, I hope they/who/what knows what went into it.

Thanks again for this thread.

You'll notice the "luckiest" elk hunters have worn out boots.

beautiful Karl!
