It was in the mail for almost 3 weeks but finally arrived yesterday.
I like the crown antler handle and the brass guard which is why I bought it, but the blade leaves a lot to be desired. The grind is not even and I can see lots of waves from over buffing. But I guess for $34 dollars you don't get "Loveless" quality.
I did notice the price went up to $60 since I bought this one.
Awesome handle on it Ken! Who made it ... can't make it out.

Rough Ryder, made in Pakistan.
I have a couple Pakistan fixed blades, a hunter and a dagger in Damascus. Hard to sharpen, but they will cut.
I specified those handle materials and was a bit nervous as to how they would turn out. The maker did not have a lot of experience and this was my first truly custom knife, i.e. made to my specifications. Ultimately, I was satisfied with the result.
Thanks Floyd, Garry, and Ken! I accumulated these being at the right place/time and prices I couldn't walk from.
Kind of a scattered collection, but hopefully a good investment my son will appreciate one day. He likes b
