New knife

[Shovelbuck]

Through the years I've made a bunch of knives for friends and to sell but never made very many for myself.
I picked up this blade quite awhile back and have been waiting for a friend to get some of my mammoth bone slabbed up for handle material.
He's been too busy, and yesterday while working in the shop I figured, what the heck, I'll sacrifice some mammoth tusk ivory and get it done. So I dug out the ivory and this is the finished product.
Blade and bolster is 440c stainless, overall length is 10 inches.

That's gotta be the coolest picture of a knife I've ever seen. Handle looks great!

at 1st glance it looks like the knife is stuck in a treestump. I thought you made the worlds largest knife.

cool knife by the way.
