Beautiful work RC!
That is a gorgeous (and very functional) hunting knife. How long did it take you from start to finish on this particular project? A friend of mine acompanied me last year to a gun show and commented about how expensive some custom knives were that we had been looking at. I commented that quite a bit of work can go into the crafting of a knife. One of these days, I will treat myself.

Since I did not have to make the blade, I guess I have about 30 hours in the handle, sheath and display base.

The winner of the knife was the owner of one of the States biggest archery stores. I do not know how much money it raised for the event. Like some of the other items, they would announce it and then a person would walk around the room displaying the item to everybody in attendance and then a host of young gals would walk around and sell tickets until everybody had a chance to buy one. Then they would make a last call, gather all the tickets and draw a winner. There were about 350 folks in attendance for the event and it was a great time. Last year this event raised around $20,000 to the WBH. Over the past 13 years, this club has raised around $200,000. I was happy to be a very small part of their efforts. I will post some pictures when I get them uploaded.
