    Sgian Achlais and kilt pins

    Did a little work out in the shop today, had to do it early since it was 102 in the shop. I am more than ready for winter again. The kilt pins are antler made from whitetail deer. The sgian achlais is made of red deer horn I picked up in a field after a fire with bronze fittings and a rough forged 1095 tool steel blade. What do you think?

    Thanks Dale, the pics do not do it justice since it was taken inside with a flash and artifical light-I was afraid I would burst into flames if I went back outside again since it was so hot. She is currently homeless.

    It's coming to live with me, as soon as the sheath is done.
