I Finished this knife up yesterday. It is a gift for an young man who is about to earn his eagle scout rank. Which is the highest award in boy scouts.
Blade is o-1 tool steel, brass guard, leather stack with red shore and blue spacers. The spacers match the color on the eagle award ribbon. Handle is antler with an eagle I carved. Never tried an eagle before so it was quite an adventure.
Always open to improving so constructive criticism welcome.

Re: The Eagle
Wow Ross if that is your first eagle then I can't wait to see one when you really get good! What a perfect gift for the young man. That stand is exceptional as well. Great work.

Re: The Eagle
Very nicely done. Having been to numerous Eagle Scout Court of Honor ceremonies, I haven’t seen a more appropriate gift.
