A friend from Maine, sent me a small moose antler and asked that I make a knife for a friend of ours, using the antler.

I cut the handle from a section of the antler that provided a finger guard.

Image

Then picked a blade form that matched the handle.

Image

Then made an O1 steel blade with a little file work.

Image

Image

Then contoured the brass and added a some ink.

Image

Image

Next I made a sheath with a moose antler image.

Image

I used the tip of the antler as a display base.

Image

Image

Image

These are the pics I got from our friend. He got several diff bucks in diff states.

It's a good feeling to make a useful tool that can be enjoyed by another.
