Ever since people started making knives, the antler has been attached as a handle. It’s the ultimate in recycling: I’ll cut you up with something made from the headgear of your cousin!

This particular knife is handled courtesy of a Llano county Texas white tailed deer. The blade is 1/8" D2 tool steel, with fish filework. OAL is 9 1/2 inches, blade is 4 1/8 tip to guard. The knife has black and red fiber spacers, and brown leather spacers. I like to add a few spacers to antler handles, as it sets the blade off from the handle a bit. Antlers come in all kinds of conditions, from chalky white old ones, to fresh off the head brown ones. This one started out weathered, but a few coats of leather dye got it back to brown. Comes with the right handed sheath pictured. $165.
