Here are some pics of the Deer Antler Dirk and Sgian Dubh that I made from the rack of a deer my Grandfather shot.

THE SGIAN DUBH:


I studied these antlers for about a week before I made the cut. Then I used a dremel to carve the handle the sgian dubh, and for the design. Then drilled the holes and inset the beads and sapphire stone gems. The top is adorned with a sapphire ring that I cut to fit. (Ignore the rust on the damascus blade, oops)

THE DIRK:


The tang of the blade goes all the way to the top of each handle. I hand drilled each one...and FYI, *don't ever use Gorilla Glue for a project like this, haha! I was wiping off the spillage seeping out for an hour* ha) I used a Ruby gemstone for the top of the Dirk, that is set in silver (originally from a necklace).
