First Handmade Elk Hunter Knife

Made a knife with this year's spike elk antler. Sure was fun. Going to give it to my son-in-law for his birthday.

That's very cool. Beautiful one of a kind hand crafted knife and a gift that will be cherished.

Well... He didn't specify HOW he was giving the knife to his son in law...

Nice knife he should be proud of even if it does come from his father-in-law

That is a totally cool knife. I've never made anything like it. My warped sense of humor just couldn't resist the joke... Sorry!

Pretty cool knife!
How does it fit the hand?
Function might be another matter...

Always wanted to do that, Very Nice. Did you use a kit or prefabed blade? If so which company? CL

I'm curious how you procured the blade as well. I haven't got the money together to get the equipment for it yet, but I have done a lot of research over the last couple years into knife making. Since I've been cooking so much lately, I'm planning on having a custom kitchen knife made for myself soon. Learned a lot getting into Japanese kitchen knives last year, and sharpening has become a favorite hobby of mine, though I'm probably no better than average at it.
