Elk Handle Large Skinning Knife

Here is the last of the three large skinning knives. I finished it last week. It is ground from the same 1/8"  thick D2 as the other two. The elk antler was from another animal though. This antler was from a piece that sat out in the woods longer and showed more signs of age. I thought that it made for some nice character. The bolsters are dovetailed stainless and the rivets are brass bolt style. This time I decided to make the sheath myself. The knife was given to a teenage boy who just lost his father to MS.
