Thanks folks.
Few specs on the knife:
Don't remember the blade length. Blade is forged from Husquvarna Commercial mower blade - really nice reclaimed steel forges and HT's like 80Crv2, Guard is forged from chunk of old wrought iron wagon wheel, and handle (obviously) is Nebraska whitetail with desert ironwood spacer and more wrought iron for butt cap. It was just a tad weight forward at the guard but felt pretty balanced in the hand.

That guard really caught my eye. Fantastic work!

Love WI, use a lot of it for knife fittings. It's basically "iron damascus" with interesting layering patterns from coarse - wagon wheel rims, medium - latches, hinges, pins, etc. to very fine - anchor chain and some machine parts. One of the best things to discover in a rust pile.

Yep, Carl is the man. He does some incredible work and makes it look easy until you try it. lol. Grant, I need to see that one in person.
