Cut up the antler into handle sized pieces. Hack saw works. Rough sand to the shape that fits your hand. Drill a hole the size of the tang. Use a dremel tool to further shape and refine the hole. Mix some epoxy. Glop it into the hole and on the tang. Push it into the antler piece. Let cure.
Then further shape and sand, and finally buff.
Oh well that's the secret out then ! everyone can make a sgian now.
Great sgians, you've made it look easy.
