wow thanx for all the compliments about my knife.well my tutor told me i should drill tiny holes all the way inside the antler so i can just heat up the knife and burn its way in.will that work or not?i just want the knife to be inside the hanlde without rivets or slites in the antler,it must go in through the middle of the antler where that funny sponge like stuff is.

winter is coming up for me,im turning 19 in october.well even if i get a job where will i buy the stuff i need?there arent anyplaces near by

well what are you ganna use the hooks for?
