Are you going to use it?

You know for camping, or if you ever find yourself being ambushed on a sandbar.

Looks custom quality to me. I'd say A+, 10 out of 10 for effort and craftsmanship. Have you done any before? Looks like a pro did it. Beautiful antler. Bravoooooo. ::tu:: ::tu:: ::tu::

By the way, what are the two non matching cut out where the edge ends back at the step up to the unsharpened tang? Thanks.
