Hej! I am recreating a Sami knife passed down from my great aunt. Is Jonas still shipping reindeer materials? All I think I would need is some antler, leather and birch if possible. Thank you for the helpful video!

[@frogbear02]

unfortunately i havent been able to get into contact with him in quite a while.. i have some antler still though and might be able to help you out? how big of a piece do you need?

[@bjornhultmark5718]

@@frogbear02 Thank you thats very good of you to offer. The entire knife is roughly 20-25cm in length so I wouldnt need a huge amount. Its of the northern variety with more of a bend in the sheath. I would send you a photo but cant figure out how to do so on youtube. Do you have an email?

[@bjornhultmark5718]

Great! I’ve sent you a message

some corrections. 1. autocorrect screwed my spelling up in some of the captions (i typed it using a swedish keyboard setting), and two, i meant you want to use as HIGH a grit sandpaper as you can.. oops!

About how much would a 5 kilo box of antler cost from Jonas, not including shipping?

[@frogbear02]

ill ask him for you!

@@frogbear02 Thanks!

@@hospeh so, there are a lot of variables. his stock is a little low right now and prices rose, but are you looking for sorted and cut pieces? big pieces? just sheath material or with some handle too? etc

[@hospeh]

@@frogbear02 Enough for two or three sheaths. The rest would be of medium cut and sorted size that could be used for knife handles and other projects. I am planning on doing wood and antler stacked handles, so I would want the cut and sorted pieces to be between 2 and 4 inches long. If prices rose, then I may just buy enough for just one knife + sheath. It all depends on the price though.

@@hospeh sorry for the late reply, he was going through moving to a different house so things got a bit messy XD i should be updating you quite soon though =)
