My first two Antler handled knives ! My first Antler anything really !

[Perrari]

I was asked if I could make a Woodlore clone using antler (like the RM instructor knife), I was a bit apprehensive at first as I had never used antler before, but was keen to have a go. I found out that antler was a really nice material to work, and wished I had used it sooner.
I then went on to make a neck knife as a Christmas present, and have another 3rd antler knife on the go now.
To be honest I think I have 'antler fever', and just want to make more things from it.
These are pictures of the 2 knives I have made so far. I hope you like them.

The large knife is Scottish stag antler, the neck knife is sambar.

Antler is always nice, stinks a bit but not near as bad as buffalo horn! Good stuff...
