stu925 Report post Posted January 12, 2015 I like both of them a lot. I presume you made the knife also? Sambar stag on the handle or maybe elk antler or maybe something else entirely? Beautiful work on both. Stu Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rawcustom Report post Posted January 12, 2015 Thanks Stu. Yes the handle is elk antler from an unfortunate Montana bull. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rawcustom Report post Posted January 13, 2015 Thanks everyone. I've been learning a lot about dying over the last year. This forum has been great for picking up advice. I'm finding myself partial to pretreat with oil, then dry sponge the dye on diluted as need be with alcohol. I also found an interesting effect if you mix the spirit dye before hand with a small amount of oil, so the experiments continue. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
