Thread: Antler as knife handle?

you need a bit of antler that is nearly the right finished handle size already because the middle pith of the antler is too soft and you dont want to expose it. I use one of those thin angle grinder cut off disks to cut it ,then sand it. The dust is very bad for you so wear a mask. sambur antler is the best because it has a lot thicker outer layer than other types of antler.
