I posted this before, but I hadn’t made the sheath yet. These pictures show better the detail of that beautiful Sanbar Stag Antler that Ray Kirk gave me of course highlighting the phenomenal Scrimshaw work by my brother Charles W. Conner. The Alabama Damascus Steel is amazing. All I did was put it all together. I’ve had offers that temped me to sell it, but with such a collaboration of good friends I will never part with it. This one goes into my collection and will one day be handed down.

Definitely some heirloom love in it — a keeper by all means.

I'm pretty sure that knife will never see blood, not as long as I have it. grin

Trust me bro, I have some killer pig knives I'm made for myself these last 20 years of making knives.

I agree; Charles Conner is one of the best. I'm blessed to have him as such a good friend.
