Hey Nick do you remember that antler from the Boyd. Here it is

Yeahp absolutely @johnd, looks great. Certainly has a bit more character than the original orange handle!
The shape of the piece looks pretty ergonomic too.

I have been making a few knives, will have a crack at a stag antler handle when I get my hands on some. Have a few days in the harkness coming up in a couple of weeks so hopefully find/shoot something with a couple knife handles on its head.
