Post by: longbowman on January 21, 2011, 10:41:00 AM

Here's a new file knife with antler & hickory handle.  I also made my first sheath.

At least he didn't bring up my last name!  The bolster is deer antler from a buck I took wit my son a few years back.  I'm in the process of making a knife from A-2 and elk antler.  I'm hoping it will be good enough for the knife swap.
