Antler handle knife
« on: August 07, 2011, 08:12:00 PM »
well I picked up a couple knife blades recently, and figured the I would try to put some antler handles on them.  well her you have it.  i am probably the worlds worst sharpener, that is why I went with the completed blade and just made the handles.  Now I have to make a couple leather sheaths for them.

Nice looking knives.  What makes them special is that you put them together!

What kind of blades did you use? The antler looks great and will be a great addition to the belt for the upcoming hunting season. Good job. Mike

the smaller one is a helle, and the bigger one I got from CKK industries on the internet. both are sharp out of the box, but the helle is much more so!!!!
