That is a beauty! Nice work, Tooln & enjoy it Cool Hand! Any details on the build?

The blade is high carbon 1095, it's been heat treated and tempered. It was then etched if a ferric chloride/vinegar mix to the desired darkness. After that it was vibratory tumbled in a ceramic/stone mix. This give it a super smooth finish and unique look. Handle is black walnut with a thin leather spacer between the walnut and antler piece. The pins are brass with one being for a lanyard. There is no stains or sealers on the handle. Just hand sanded and buffed. The sheath is hand made to fit the blade and hand tooled. Luke has a signature that he uses. He provided a pic of it and I put it into my lasers software and etched it into the blade. This thing is tough and super sharp.

Beautiful! Thank you for sharing. Now, all the sudden, I'm thinking I need a new knife

That's cool that you were able to laser in a custom signature on the blade. That's a very nice-looking knife.

Well kind of. Was born and raised on a farm, self taught welding rusty farm stuff at 10. Spent 30+ years in the dairy, cheese and butter industry as a mechanic, welder & fabricator. Made my first knife when I retired. It was only going to be 1 for me. Well that didn't work. I hit number 200 just after the first of the year. I held a give away for that one. I have them in over a dozen states.
