Handcrafted in Scotland, made from naturally shed red deer antler, found in the shadow of Buachaille Etive Mòr, in Glen Etive(Which featured in the movie Skyfall.
The hilt is Ben Nevis Distillery Barrel Stave Oak
Bloodwood, although it isn't a native Scottish wood I used it as a metaphor for the blood shed in Glencoe, at the famous Glencoe massacre of 1692.
"Oh cruel is the snow that sweeps Glencoe
And covers the grave o' Donald
And cruel was the foe that raped Glencoe
And murdered the house o' MacDonald"
The Antler has been polished, but if you look closely you can see marks created by the animal during rutting.
Stunning Damascus steel blade, in the interest of safety is sent them unsharpened.
Carefully hand stitched full grain leather sheath is included.
