Default Second Knife

Hey guys,

Thaks for all the good comments about my first knife. Here is number two Just finished it yesterday. I still do not have the proper process of sanding the blade smooth. I go to 120 grit on my belt sander and then try from hand to go through some other grits.

Also this hanle is made from deer antler. Can anyone recomend something to seal it?

Thanks

Good looking knife, I like the contrast of the copper. The only sealing of a antler handle that i've done is to use super glue to seal shallow cracks.

I have never sealed antler handles just used super glue on minor cracks as bg7m says.
Nice work on the knife. for most of mine I hand sand up to about 600 and then buff out the blade on a home made buffer.
