This utility knife is made for the outdoor enthusiast. It’s forged from reclaimed 5160 high carbon steel. The robust spine retains it’s thickness until the final taper at the clip point, to add strength in chopping and using a fire-striker. The forged tang tapers through the brass guard most of the way to the pommel cap, which is then threaded to hold the whole assembly in place. The resulting void in the Elk antler handle was then filled with epoxy and put under vacuum to fill any voids and ensure that it will never come loose. I silver brazed the small brass guard in place for added strength, then pinned the brass pommel in place. The handle curves in a manner that would most likely fit a right-handed user best. I kept the black, chrome tanned leather sheath simple, save for the purple synthetic sinew stitching with red accents on the retaining strap.
Overall length sheathed: 11-1/2’’
overall length: 10’’
blade length: 5-1/8’’
