I am going to try my hand with making one of these. Anyone have any, could u post pics. please, I would like to get some ideas for them. I have one antler in particular that I can't wait to make into a knife, just fits in the hand so nicely. Also does anyone know where to get affordable good blade blanks?

What type of antler are you goung to use?

I think it is a whitetail, let me get a pic. of it and post it on here. It is not the largest diam. wise, but holds very nice.

I can't find the pics of the ones i made with some sheds that were given to me. i used the base of the antler as the palm and found a nice guard through Koval Knife company. here is a pic of one i made using a blade from Crazy Crow and some osage.

good luck, watch out it's addictive

Here it is. I have some more they look to be all the same type of antler. I have some cut up parts I will use one day for tip overlays, and I have a few that may be handles.

I dont have any deer antlers,mostly elk but I think that would make a handle

Jmar,
I love the knife I just made with a Helle blade from a sponsor here, darktimberdesign.com. Sharp as he!! and a good price. Several blades to choose from. Here's the one I made last month with the guthook blade with antler burr on the end. Any deer I get around here with antler big enough for the whole handle is a wall hanger!

Here is the first knife I made. The blade is from a old file. I ground it slow where the metal never got to hot to touch. I inlaid tourquoise stones in the handle.

You can always split the antler to make it an asymetrical handle...either RH or LH.

Here is one of mine with a carved antler handle, I have shown it before, but what the heck.
I don`t know what kind of antler was used, was made by a Polish guy. Bue--.
