Traded this set for a Fixer Motorcycle!
« on: February 12, 2013, 03:36:28 PM »
Traded this set to a Hunt-Wa member for a fixer dirt bike...

ShedStud sent me the antler to work with, every piece (except the Wenge Cougar whistle) is made from his antler.














Changing hands this weekend!

Never been a big fan of knife handles made out of antler but that is gorgeous. Good work sir.

Nice work Rainshadow.  I see the pin in the handle, is that the only way you secure them ?  I made one 30 years ago, and its still in one piece.   :chuckle:

I'm still not sure who got the better deal....

Just kidding!  As long as you're both happy with the trade, it's all good.  Beautiful work on the knife and calls, by the way.  :tup:

Thx guys,

Nwtf, there's the pin, and the multi-perforated hidden tang is 3" into the antler and set in solid epoxy. It isn't going anywhere!

I was wondering if you used epoxy....  Have you heard of or ever tried the old fashioned way ?

I may or may not know what you mean by the "old fashioned way," but I don't know that I could build my bolsters (this one is G10 carbon/red carbon/G10 carbon/Walrus Ivory) and press and pin under pressure like I do with the method I think you're referring to... so I'm happy with new fangled!
