I made this for my wife's Birthday.  A small stock removal blade from an antique saw mill blade, edge quenched.  Stained curly maple coffin handle with silver wire inlay.  And my first curly maple sheath,  The sheath has a small magnet inlayed inside the sheath to hold it tight, it has silver wire work and two tone stained. Blade is 3 1/2" OAL 7". Hammer textured copper guard.

When the last deer disappears into the morning mist,
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.

That's a beautiful combo, Steve!  Well done.  I just did my first wooden sheath and they're tricky.

I don't know how I've missed this one but I did, and I am sorry for that because it is an AMAZING package. I love everything about it!

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