mora with antler handle
« on: July 19, 2011, 10:15:00 PM »
there is a post on mora knives over in powwow. i am not a knife maker by any means. i am amazed at the talent displayed here. i have done little things such as putting handles on blades which brings me to the reason for my post. i wanted to share a couple pics with you. this is a mora blade that i had. i used a whitetail antler tine for the handle. the guard or bolster(whatever it's called)is just a piece of brass. i made a leather sheath for it and put a belt clip on it. i usually just clip it to my back quiver. what do you think? don

I'm not usually a fan of antlers as handles, mainly because I don't normally see ones that appear comfortable.  This one is reason enough for me to rethink the generalization.  That looks like it would be very nice in hand.  Good job.   :thumbsup:

Good work Don!  I've got an antler spike kicking around here as well. Making me want to finally do something with it!
