Dan,
Beautiful work as always.
How was the S30v to work with and sharpen?

I really didn't find S30v to be as bad as everyone says. It was pretty easy to grind and drill in the annealed state. Sharpening took only a few minutes on my homemade jig with stones. This steel doesn't want to take a polishing. Satin is the way to go I think

thanks, I'm not really into the clip point stuff but since the guy is going to wear dress traditional and use a single shot rifle with tang sights, he thought this was the style best suited for the hunt.

Sweet little knife, those elk scales are nice!
Good looking work

yeah it's hard to find a piece of elk that big and that straight. Luckily, over the years I've shot a few really good sized ones lol
