"Rustic" forged antler handled knife

[juttle]

I'm actually pretty happy with this one, which, for me, is something of a miracle!

Overall Length: 245mm
Sharp Bit: 120mm
Handle: 120mm

The gap between the sharp bit and the brass bit: 5mm

The blade is 34mm at its widest, and 3mm thick. The sheath is part lined, and the whole lot is laced together.

The only thing I'm not sure of is the antler crown as a pommel. Maybe a bigger spacer between the two antler sections, or possibly just not bother with the crown at all and thread the tang to take another brass piece as a cap?

What do you guys (and gals) think?

As usual, all and any comments or criticisms welcome!

Nice work! Personally, I like the antler crown pommel - it works well with the overall rustic look of the knife.

+1 on the antler crown. It's a nice finish to the knife so I'd leave it. The whole knife looks good as does the sheath. Well done fella.

The knife is very nice, and I'll echo the praise for the crown-as-pommel. I'm impressed with the sheath too, the 'pancake' design solves a lot of the
Problems inherent in getting a sheath to look like a continuation of the knife's shape. BRAVO.
