Title: Antler and damascus drop point.
Post by: skullworks on August 24, 2009, 10:08:00 AM

Here is one I just finished. Damascus drop point with stabilized and dyed whitetail antler. The spacer is buckeye burl and rust red spacer material with a brass guard. The blade is apprx 3-1/2" and OAL is between 8-1/2" and 9". Enjoy!

NICE KNIFE love those drop points.Made one my self today. I have a sawmill so I used some walnut I cut a year ago.Made the blade out of a buss saw blade. Would like to make one with a stag handle. HOW DID YOU ATTACH YOUR HANDLE?

Just make sure you cut some notches in the tang of the knife to give the epoxy better holding power. Devcon 2 ton epoxy is good also. Thanks for the compliment!
