Jake-
The main grip, including the buttcap portion, was made form the crown end of the antler, with the crown forming the buttcap. The haunches portion is a second piece laid crosswise and the main grip was then fitted to the top of it following the curve. It's fitted using a compound curve and if you look at the closeup the U shape coming down over the haunches is where it has been fitted together. A lot of file and fit.

The beautiful sheaths created for storing the knife elevate the knife one step higher. It celebrates the knife it houses.
