Here is one I made for a young friend in Colorado, Owen. He sent some horn he found and his old man (hornhunter) gave me some elk antler. They came together ok I think.
Thanks again to Dave Ricke for the help.

Very nice as always. Ran into these antlers at John McDonalds a few days ago that I understand came from you. Were they the ones in
question?

Nice little hunter.

Very nice! I'm kinda partial to smaller knives. I get to use them more cause I never kill anything when I go hunting!
Beautiful knife, I think I can feel some Ricke influence there.
Going up to Dave Ricke's @ 10am Wednesday to shape the handle on the new takedown recurve he made for me. Stop in at the shop Brian.

Very nice. I know the new owner will love it.

Beautiful knife, I'd say they came together very well.

That looks like a worthy knife for a beautiful set of antlers. I bet it makes more than one though. :D
Thanks for the kind words about the knife.
Just for clarification, the horns were traded to John McDonald(Bigriver Bows) for a bow. The horntraders(Hornhunter aka Scott George) son sent me some sheep horn he found & I made him the knife cause I like him.
He is a great kid & one hell of a hunter already.
My knives are certainly not worthy of a set of antlers like that (or any others for that matter)
B....
Brian, I love the knife. It looks like a perfect size and shape for deer hunting. Nice Job,
I love Johns expression looking at the elk antler.
Very nice job on the knife Brian, I bet it will get many years of use and will become a prize possession. Still would like to meet you some day
I saw the elk at Johns, Good Trade. He is proud of the elk, you made him very happy.
