Hardest knife I ever made

[bikerdoc]

Only took 6 weeks working a few hours a week to finish.:banghead:

The next to last blank I have from the old Cammilus factory. 1095 CV.

Bull horn scales ( found at a flea market) cut and slabbed - boy does that smell when cutting.

Lots of grinding, sanding, filing, and detail on those things.

After market sheath is very comfortable on belt even if it is labeled a boot sheath.

Thanks to HSO, Black toe, Issacs grandpa, Rupertis, 7x57 Chilmau and messerist for the tips and encouragement.

Will ya lookit dat!

Great job fitting the scales to the tang.... I've yet to build a rivet'n'scale knife largely because I fear the fiddling required to fit the scales so nicely. You done good! Looks real comfy to hold... New EDC?

Love to see a photo of the knife sheathed....

Exceptional

Really nice, and nicely done.

Now, that is a knife I'd be proud to own and use.

And I'm a real sucker for natural handles, like bone and horn.

Congratulations, doc.
