Native American Comanche Knife

I was asked by a friend who is heavily involved in Native American Pow Wows 
to make a Native American style knife. I did quite a bit of research with regards 
to blade style and handle finishing, I mostly specialize in Norse style knives so this 
was a little out of my comfort zone. The blade is hand forged from 1084 high carbon
steel and the handle is white doe  antler from South Dakota. It's wrapped with 
sinew that was soaked and stretched.
