Very nice indeed mate. I love the overall shape, as well as the antler handles. The damascus blade is spectacular too.

The only thing I'd change would be the finger grooves in the handle. Personally, I'd prefer not to have them. Other than that, I would have to rate your knife as being almost ideal in every respect. 8)

It would have cost you a pretty penny, I bet.

There is no use focusing on aiming if you don't execute the shot well enough to hit what your are aiming at.
