Clay quenched camp knife, sculpted feather walnut

Here's a camp knife I just finished. I was inspired on the handle by Claudio Cas. This was my first time attempting carving like this and I have to say, for me it was kind of a PITA. It took me a lot of time. Glad to be done with it.

1080+ steel, clay quenched
11 1/2" overall, 6 1/2" blade
.225" at the ricasso tapers to 3/32" at the butt end of the handle
False edge
Tapered tang
Missouri Black walnut scales with lots of feather pattern
Brass bolts

Another amazing knife.

Please forgive my newbie question. What's the purpose of the depression in the butt of the knife?

Looks like it was worth the effort to me. That's a nice looking piece!

Thanks guys.

Grant- no purpose to the detail on the butt end. Just purely for looks. Something to be different I guess.
