:confused:

Try my back yard in a few months

That's where I've gotten the last 2 we have. Also go to some of the National Forests around here and you can find elk antlers too. Oops

guess you'll have to fly over for a visit.

Hamish and Robin,

Could I ask what your respective projects are?

Cheers

I was in the Antique Warehouse up here in Belmont the othr day, (it's next door to REI) and one of the vendors had 4-5 antlers for sale for about $12-$14 each.

The knife looks great!

Panache,

I made my two the same way a few months back: pic.
Didn't consider professionally sharpening them, though - just gave them a light touch with a bench grinder (at that point I didn't have the patience left to use the Dremel grinder).
