October 2, 201015 yr Here is my latest attempt... The knife is for a coworker who also provided the antler for the handle. He was extremely happy it I am proud to say!! Forged from 5/32 O-1. Roughly a 5 inch flat ground blade. The sheath was a nightmare from the start. I accidentally started building the sheath for left handed carry. I had to re-stack everything on the opposite side. Luckily I was able to save it. All comments are welcomed. Thanks for looking.
October 2, 201015 yr Author I stacked two pieces of black walnut I had on hand to even out the transition from the antler to the blade. It was pretty challenging because I wanted to keep as much of the antler intact as possible. Thanks for the compliment Lane
October 3, 201015 yr That angled spacer is pretty cool. Looks like a nice knife. How does the antler feel in the hand? It looks like an odd shape. Phil
October 3, 201015 yr Author The new owner is very happy with it. I don't believe he wants it for an EDC. He said it was more as a memento from his first buck he got. He's had this piece of antler for over 30 years!! The blade feels a little weird in the hand, but it is definitely usable.
