Deer Antler Bushcraft Knife

Last summer I found a deer antler on holiday and decided to use it as knife handle. This was a really fun project do and I learned some new things on the way. Deer antler is a wonderful material to work with and I guess I will use it more in future projects, for it gives a really nice look and fits the outdoors theme of a bushcraft knife.
Have fun watching this video!

You have to provide for yourself, and don't be envious.

[@jimmy_Ross]

how do you harden these knives

[@featherstoneproducts6833]

I heat the blade until its red/orange and then I quench it in rapeseed oil for about 10 seconds. The rapid cooling of the steel makes it hard. Then I let it cool down to room temperature and at last I put it in the kitchen oven for 2 hours at 200°C. This tempering releases the stress in the steel and makes it less brittle and more springy

ANYONE THINK HE SHOULD DO A GIVEAWAY HIT HIM UP AND ASK THIS FINE YOUNG MAN TO DO A 1K GIVEAWAY TO GIVE BACK TO HIS COMMUNITY
