Was just going through my antler pieces and I found this one.
I wonder about leaving that G1 point intact.
It would work for a right handed person but it would have to be a left handed sheath so the G1 wouldn't jab you in the side.
What do you think?

They could always carry it in a neck sheath.

I’m curious as to how you make the hole in antler to recieve the blade. Next time you do it if you don’t mind sharing please show the tool you use and maybe explain. I like to learn that type of stuff.

This picture is from the giveaway thread.
I cut a deep slot on a milling machine.
I have in the past just drilled a hole with a drill press but it's very hard to get the end of the antler square with the hole and then the guard to blade fit is not so good.
With the milling machine I cut the antler flat before cutting the slot. That keeps everything nice and square and the mating parts will fit flush and snug.
