Antler Gut Hook

[VA Bowbender]

When you’re out of work for more than a month you can get really bored.  I was at my desk this morning and looked at one of those letter openers that looks like a gut hook with the razor in it and I thought …humm.  Later I went out to the shed and was looking around and I saw a piece of antler from a earlier project.  I got the Dremmel tool out and went to work. I cut a kerf in it and inserted an old Muzzy blade in it, ground it to shape and tada a gut hook.


 
 
Side note: it is looking like I’ll have to go back to have my rotator cuff surgery redone, it might have come undone.

Sorry to hear about the surgery, but on the other hand, real nice gut hook.

Thats pretty neat. Did you lightly glue the blade in so it wouldnt fall out or is it just slid into it so it can be replaced/sharpened?
