Miroku_Dave Posted September 20, 2019 Report Share Posted September 20, 2019 Finally I’ve put some antler on a knife!!! Its not finished yet but I couldn’t resist a quick picture. (The epoxy is drying for the next 24 hours!) its my signature blade in 8670 steel, it has white G10 liners which I epoxied to the scales about a week ago as I wasn’t sure how well the antlers would stick but it seems strong enough. It’s got carbon fibre pins, I was going to use mosaic pins but they didn’t really stand out enough. It’s supposed to have a brass lanyard tube but I lost my last bit of brass somewhere!?! I might leave it as is 👍 once ive finished profiling the handle scales and added my mark, and sharpened it obviously I’ll add some better pictures.

I’m ashamed to say the whistle and firestick aren’t actually mine, I just used them for artistic effect! These are my fire sticks, they’re a bit bigger and not quite as refined. I’m loving the knife though 😎👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ditchman Posted September 20, 2019 Report Share Posted September 20, 2019 that antler just works sooo well with the steel..........are you going to make a sheath which also takes the stick ...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m probably going to send it to WoodlanderUK and get him to make me one. His work is amazing, I wouldn’t be able to make anything like his stuff! He made this for my mate to put one of my knives in.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
