Cool knife Chad.
That old elk looks like elephant ivory bark.

Great looking knife! Sorry for the ignorance but that is elk antler right? Any idea how old it is? It looks beautiful!

Thanks guys, that antler shed was found in Montana, and it was white and chalky, dyed it, sealed it, then ground it. Been using near rotten sheds for years, makes for a pretty handle
