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.

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!

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.
