3 Antler and Damascus Knives
« on: February 19, 2009, 08:40:00 AM »
Here are three I just finished. They are all antler with damascus blades

 
This one is a nice twist damascus with a brass guard, maple front, red spacer and a dyed whitetail antler. I dyed this antler myself using leather dye and simmering it for about 30-45 minutes. When I sanded down the high areas it left a nice golden color. Blade is 4-3/4" Oal is 10". The sheath is hand made and tooled with a oil finish.


 
This one is random damascus with a brass guard and a dyed whitetail antler. I purchased this antler and I think it has kind of a mammoth bone look to it. Blade is 3-1/4" Oal is 8-1/2". The sheath is hand made and tooled with a oil finish.

The bottom two don't show the color of the antler very well. I'll try to get a couple of better pics.
Thanks for looking!    :thumbsup:
