Looks excellent! Great file work on the springs, too.

Beautiful!
I'm love Elk antler anyway, but that has a great balance of bark and hafting. You do great work!

Very nice, Bighead. I do not often see Elk horn used on knives. Which is kind of odd considering how big Elk antlers are and how many of them there are in America.
