Way to go, Dana.
It is incredibly difficult to make whitetail antler cooperate in the design of a knife - I think.
But you pulled it off exceptionally well on those.
You knocked those out of the park.

Good job Dana!
Keep up the good work,not long ago I had a guy tell me to try to make two knives identically the same.It helped me alot.I think a person trys much harder when doing this.
What is the thickness of your blade at the cutting edge?? Are they convex ground at the cutting edge?

Thanks kevin, the blade was ground to about the thickness of a credit card, then I put a apple seed edge on it, I guess you call it convex, I like it because I think it gives the edge just a little more tuffness.
Is this a good thing?
