Some of the coloring antlers get is from blood when they shed velvet, the rest comes from what they rub their antlers on, trees, brush etc...If anyone would know how this elk antler has this coloring, I would like to hear your theory. This is natural coloring. Lightly sanded.
Hi Mr. Morland, I know this is an older post, but I am wanting to do pins in a knife like you did here and was wondering how you did it. All your pins look perfect. I'm guessing these are all peened pins in the blade, and that all the pin holes are countersunk? Would you mind sharing your process, as I usually end up with gaps in the material. I have peened a few times, but I don't seem to be improving much. I hope this is not hijacking your thread to much, thank you in advance!I have been working on this next knife for about six months. Do a little work, think about it, do a little work, think about it. I have finally finished it up. A buddy of mine helped to design this knife for himself. He is stoked about it being finished. I hope he likes his new mini-cleaver. Made from high carbon steel, copper liners, copper pins, copper inserts, ironwood, a nice hamon, lots of filing, and some Wickett & Craig leather. Pictures are better than words. Just take a look at this beauty.
First knife of 2020. African Blackwood bolsters, stabilized elm burl scales, copper pins, drummed dyed leather sheath with a little bit of edge braiding. Hopefully this year will be an awesome knife year!!!
Very nice! How is the Whitetail antler to work with? My daughter gave me some a long time ago and I'd like to use it in a knife for her.It has been a while since I posted up a new knife. Winter was cold and so was the garage. It is warming up a bit and I found some time to get one completed.
A 5.5 inch fillet knife made from 440C. Whitetail deer handle with orange g10, black g10 and brass. 50 separate pieces in the handle. Brass guard and pin. Mosaic pin in the butt cap. Sheath is black and saddle tan with a dangler style belt loop.
