That's quite the first crack, I gotta say! Beautiful knife!

Thanks mate, I surprised myself too.

Nice! Did you cover the end of the handle, or can you still see the cross section of the antler? Been wanting to try something similar and have been unsure how to best finish that part of the antler. Thanks

I was going to add a g10 butt cap to it but since I hollowed out all the pith and filled it with black epoxy I just left it sealed as is.

I wonder what pig iron would look like.

Dunno mate, pig iron is hard to come by in Australia

That looks great, well done. Is that brass and black epoxy for the bolster (?)
I have a piece of antler waiting to be used, and this is exactly what i'd love to do!

Cheers mate. It’s brass and black g10 spacer. I would have preferred the brass to be thicker and the g10 to be thinner. But that was the stock I had. Definitely have a go at it, antler seems to be a win.
