Dustin Quade Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I have made a couple of knives from a blacksmithing class but these are the first i have made at home without a teachers guidance. Never done any with a deer antler handle or a guard. Pretty happy with how they came out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locksmithjoe Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Beautiful!! How did you HT the file? Any tips or tricks? What's the brand? How did you secure the antler? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustin Quade Posted December 2, 2015 Author Share Posted December 2, 2015 Thanks, heat treating was actually not to hard i heated the blade through until just over non magnetic and quenched into canola oil. I cant say what brand it was it was given to me by my father in law who had it from his farm as a kid. I used my drill press to make a bit of a hollow into the bottom of the hole where the tang goes so it will make like a well then the tang near the bottom i filed a small groove so as the glue hardens it will kinda lock into that groove. I used gorilla glue . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
