Scott-The maker is Larry C Mensch of Milton PA. He is in his 70's now I believe, and still cranking out beautiful custom knives to my knowledge. His contact info-

Larry's Knife Shop-Larry Mensch

578 Madison Ave.,Milton PA 17847 Phone-(570) 742-9554

He is self taught and been making knives for over 20 years- He is vastly underrated as his knives are generally works of art and reasonably priced for the quality. Search the web and you can find other examples of his work.He has also been a mentor to many a knife maker. Here is one more of his as an example--

Larry did such a nice job! Its hard to see but he actually fitted the stag with the natural rise from the antler where the fingers and thumb meet. Feels really natural in the hand for a round stag handle!
