I appreciate the rivets on the bolsters- with horn/antler it can get slick fast- those look to be just a bit proud and "knobby" which in this case look awesome with the style and the need for a grip. Great line- is that a false swedge on the spine or is it flat?

Looks nice indeed- the sheath- is quite the match as well! Love the tooling and as others pointed out the thread choice!

Hi Kerri,

I agree on the pins on the bolsters.  In this case the are a bit proud I carefully penened them over then buffed them to smooth them.  It will allow some grip.  The bolsters are also epoxied on as well.  I like the knobby look in this case  so I didn't sand and smooth them all the way after peening.  On the angled part of the spine is a false swedge. Extensing to the tip. More for looks then anything else.  Good eye?

Thanks for compliments.  I try hard to produce a quality product that is pleasing to look at as well as functional!

 

Happy Thanksgiving all
