    Panache also provided me with the common source of the the opener blanks some time ago and I made a few.

    For a more "special" Sgian "Brew" may I suggest the following source:

    I've made up two using his cast openers, and they are wonderful.

    Back to the original post...you said you know someone who has antlers that he has no use for? I just can't wrap my mind around such a situation.

    Thanks for the link. Good prices too.

    I was thinking the same thing! There are always knives that need handles and things that need buttons!

    I was a little surprised at having no use for antler as well, but Lord knows I can come up with plenty of uses for them so I'll be glad to take them off his hands!

    Just a note to let you know I took the "Sgian Brew" out for a spin on Burns night. More than a few compliments! Thanks again!
