Well this fell off my bench today. Got to make up a sheath yet and put a final edge on it. Forged hex stock 1078. Forked antler with wood ends and brass peened over. No clue what came over me with this handle. Surprising feels good in my hand at least. Thought I'd share , et the what the heck is that and are u sure that is a knife comments begin

Instead of a sheath you should make a walking stick/sheath (a stick with a fitted slot in the top).Put that knife into the top of a gnarly staff and you'd look like a medieval knife wizzard.

That's the vibe you were hoping for, er no?

Looks like a fancy little push dagger to me.

Well isnt that an interesting thought hmmm......honestly no idea what vibe I was after on this one. Sometimes I just try stuff and in this case i had that piece of antler on the bench and seemed like something to try ....I think it looked better in my head lol

Never thought of it that way Thanks!

Lol...that was the response I expected

I like the looks of it. I’d have to hold / use it to make a final judgement.

The biggest thing with antler handles, is the indexing. The blade has to be in the right orientation when it is being held comfortably.

I think you nailed it.

Thank you and I agree antler handles have to be held and fiddled with to get them right before they get epoxied and pinned.
