Antler Handled Knife

This particular knife is handled courtesy of a Llano county white tailed deer. The blade is 1/8″ D2 tool steel, with fish filework. The knife has black and red fiber spacers, and brown leather spacers. I like to add a few spacers to antler handles, as it sets the blade off from the handle a bit. Antlers come in all kinds of conditions, from chalky white old ones, to fresh off the head brown ones. This one started out weathered, but a few coats of leather dye got it back to brown.

nice

I really like deer horned handles. I have a lot of deer and elk sheds. I want to make more horn handled knives. Do you stabilize your antlers before using for handles?
 
That's a really nice knife! I think your dealing with a real bonehead. Drop him like a hot potato!!!
