"Little Natures Revenge." This knife blade is made from 15n20 & 1084 damascus, which I got through Jantz knife supplies. I made the handle and sheath. The Blade specs: Average length= 2-5/8". Widest width: 13/4". Edge distance on circumferences: Approximately 2-5/8". Sharpened by hand. The guard is made from buffalo horn and glued to the blade with 3800 lb per sq. inch epoxy.

One is on the butt, and another at the top side of the handle, between the leather and antler. The thong hole is lined with brass. All pieces are glued together with epoxy. In addition the antler is pinned to the tang. Knife thong is buckskin with little double holed copper beads I made, along with a 'horn' bead and porcupine(?) claw.
