Yup - The Sgian Dubh blades from Atlanta Cutlery ..here.. are all threaded tang. For Antlers it's really easy!!!

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.

My Dad carried a knife with a leather handle like your in Europe during WW2 and now I know how to "fix" it...too big for a sgain but just right for my memories. Thanks
