Some of my son's work

My son made this for my birthday.

He used a file and ground it all down and then we tempered it in the kitchen oven.

The antler was given to him by a friend from work and I think it came from northern Ontario.

The shape is so perfect for my hand and I love it.  It has not left my belt since he gave it to me.

 With some encouragement form my son I was able to get this one done up this afternoon.

Unlike my son who has the skill to take a piece of steel, grind and sharpen it into a knife I cheated and bought a blade blank to build this one.

The handle is diamond wood sealed with boiled linseed oil add then buffed with bees wax.
