How to Make a Custom Antler-Handle Knife

Here’s how to make your own, personalized hunting knife. You can buy a new blade to fit with the antler handle, or you can use an old blade, like this one I found while hunting in the Rocky Mountains.

You will need:

1. Knife blade

2. A 4.5- to 5.5-inch piece of antler, preferably with burr attached

3. Band saw or hack saw

4. Drill and bit

5. 5-minute, two-ton epoxy

6. Belt sander

7. Dremel or rasp set

8. Sandpaper

9. Steel wool
