Popular Post Rifletuner Posted February 4 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 4 Just finished up a knife with my first go at using sambar antlers for the handle. A guy that I used to hunt with does a bit of forging and wanted to learn about knife making after seeing some of my knives. He spent a few days with me last year, and I took him through the whole process. He offered to give me some antler for handle material, and I was happy to take him up on the offer. As expected, I learned a few things in the process of working with the antler, but pretty happy with how this first one turned out. Steel is 2.5mm VG10 stainless random pattern Damascus in a full flat grind. The handle is a tapered tang with antler scales, black G10 liners and brass pins & lanyard tube. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben338 Posted February 5 Report Share Posted February 5 that looks really good, the antler handles top it off and i'm sure would look good on a stainless blade etc aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duncs Posted February 6 Report Share Posted February 6 That is truly fantastic! I’ve always really liked Damascus steel but that random pattern is the best. The antler handles are a classy look too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
