They are growing in the spring and are shed in the end of the winter.

I always loved this fact,  the stag dosent need it anymore.It is a gift of nature.

It's just...You can have a room full of antlers, but so often not the right piece.

According to this it depends what the maker expects which quality he needs and how the antler will turn out on the finished knife .

 ....  let form follow function but both of it has  to submit to the stag.

 So for me the  consequence is,  every chosen antler gets his own special designed  blade.

Sterling pinned Hungarian red deer,  O1 blade and 220 mm overal  length.

Form following natures flow. Gifted When you can find them before the mice turn them into chew toys.

I imagine the handle is good and grippy. Also like the light "pitting" you put or left in part of the blade. 

Very nice, I would immediately take it to the woods and use it Stag is one of natures best handle materials, timeless and good even for hard use.

 

Lovely. Just don't let the dogs get it.

Thanks, Guys!
