Here ya go
An attempt to buils a file and antler knife with handtools only, I still need to build a beltsander  :D  
Two questions if you all dont mind...
Should i sand the blade lenthwise or striaght down to the edge for the finnish?
And what do I use to finnish the handle, superglue will be to thin I am thinking...
Still far from finished but wouold like to hear what you guys think.
Thanks

I would clean the handle and then hit it with any of a number of paste waxes.  The antler is pretty tough and just needs to be sealed to help keep it from drying out.

Skill is not born into anyone.  It is earned thru hard work and perseverance.
