    Looks great so far. I like the antler with some 'roughness' to it. Especially if you're going for an ancient look. And then after a few years of a hand polishing it and buffing in skin oils it will have really mellowed out.

    Makes me wish I needed a dirk

    I do a lot of camping and fishing and reenactment stuff. Otherwise I wouldn't need one, either. It will look great hanging from my Renaissance belt!
