No mask whilst drilling bone ... not a good idea.

Yes,the blade looked Cherl.

[splintercelldude57]

where did you get the base knife cause i have it and my dad gave it to me and i was wondering what it is

[srslyusuck]

@splintercelldude57 the markings on the blade (420 stainless Taiwan) i found it in my basement when i moved in, sorry not much help on where it actually came from and there is no name brand or any other markings on it.

@srslyusuck looks like a ka-bar

@splintercelldude57 I found about three of them at a flea market but budk.com sells many cheep hollow handle knives

I admire your skills but that antler handle looks like crooked

[srslyusuck]

@Kereyuli well it does have a serious curve to it but the blade is pretty much dead center with the curve. at 2:15 point in the video where i show the tape on the handle as a guide for the blade you can clearly see this. but i do admit it was probably not the best piece of antler to start with, but it was the only one i had. thanks!

Very cool looking handle. Does the antler stink as much as everyone says it does when you cut it?

@haydenHD yeah! basically smells like burning hair, definitely a funk to it.
