    This is my one and only. The top knife is elk antler with turquoise inlaid at the end. Damascus steel. Knife by Howard Clark, Master Smith.

    Here's mine I made about a year ago. Piece of elk antler and pattern welded steel blade from Scotland. It's going back to Scotland with me next week. It's easy to make. Drill a hole through the pithy part of the antler - butter up the blade tang with epoxy and shove it into the hole. Do some clean-up befor the epoxy sets and you can shape the entler to fit your need. I intended to get the cap engraved so I fixed a brass cap to the end. I also added a brass bolster between the blade and the antler for show. The section of antler I choose to use had quite a bit of scaring left from the fighting that the critter did befor he lost his rack. I left them alone - gave the handle some character.




    I intend to do some flea market searches for other bladed pieces. Make a neat past time refurbishing antique blades.
