Large Nessie: finished



Well, I have finally finished my large  Nessie. I had difficulties finding a suitable  crown antler. Lets the pictures do the talking.

15" long, with the blade being 8". The knife weights a hefty 550grams  The blade is fixed through the handle with a long stick tang, that is riveted at the pommel. I have used pewter to make a bolster and fix the blade in the handle. 








Next to a Swiss Army Knife for scale.
The view of the pommel, with the riveted stick tang. The steel pommel is epoxied to the antler, so no moisture can get in there. It's hard to see, but some of the fur is still attached to the antler. I left it on as I think it add to the look of the knife.


This is one hefty beast! I am very pleased with it.

    Whoa, what a monster!!! I like the peened and structured pommel disc, it definitely adds a lot of character to the knife, and the stag crown is attractive to boot!

    Great job again!
