    damascus sgian dubh

    It has really been a long cold winter here in Eastern Utah.

    It finally warmed up enough to use my shop, so with hope of curing my cabin fever I went out and put a handle on a blade I had bought from Rab Gordon.

    I finished this one a little different than other crown antler handles I've done in the past.
    I had to thin and reshape the antler so it would ride against the leg better
    and used a Tea bath to stain the crown.

    The bolster is poured pewter.
