    Deagle

    My friend tossed me a broken sgian duhb last time I was out to see him and asked that I put a handle on it for him. I cleaned up the blade as well I could and this what I've come up with. It's whitetail antler, water buffalo horn, Long horn bull horn, brass, brecciated jasper, and a little bit of blood. Tell me what you think!



    I've yet to clean the rouge out of the carving but it shows the design off a bit with my P.O.S. camera anyhow.

    I think any blade that requires a blood sacrifice to be made is formidable indeed

    So I gave the blade to my friend and he didn't say much. I'll be honest in saying I felt a bit anti-climactic. Too fancy me thinks.. I appreciate all the kind words gents! On to the next project
