Here if antoher file knife that i made. I used the minwax wood hardener on the leather with the handle and it makes it almost as hard as the antler. The brass but cap was chalenging to do, by drilling a hole for the brass rod and peening it. If some one has a better way i could use the advice.

I made this knife from an old rasp. Then did a mustard finnish on the blade. The handle is stag with leather and brass spacers. All treated with minnwax wood hardener. The hardener really made the leather tough.

I will give it a shot, Thanks for the chance. The knives that has it on them look great!
