Vintage style drop point antiqued bone handle

A custom order knife I made about 5 years ago.

This has a nice drop point type blade with a nice patina
about 4 inches long with a file worked spine.

The handle is about the same length as the blade with
an antiqued smoothed down and antiqued piece of elk.
3 steel pins in the handle.

You can see from the photo the antiqued belt sheath
has a full free hand tooled face.  This was set up to wear high
on the belt and cross drawn.

Thank you for reading
