What's up everyone?


I have a freshly made little cutter to show.

It is 20.5 cm long overall, with a 9.5 cm long , 3.2 cm wide and 3 mm thick blade. That is 8 inch in total with a 3.75 inch blade ;)
The handle is made of deer antler and oak and the blade is forged of 5160 and L6 steels with around 200 layers.

Another beautiful knife with perfect proportions, which is why it is attractive.
I think this handle is more suited to a large hand rather than to an elf like me ?

what about the girth ? the distance around the handle at largest spot, this is what i was thinking looks best for a big hand.

The height of the handle's belly is 3.5 cm, or 1.35 inch
