Been thinking about using this material for a handle for a long time. Never seen anyone else use this on a knife.

It's the top side of the skull of a Sambar Deer. You can see the cranial sutures.

Blade is M390 steel, handle is Sambar Deer Skull

Really 'chunky'

As backspacer, I used Sambar Stag from the same deer.

Framelock. It would just be too 'thick' if I'd use the skull on both sides.

I made a black leather sheat for it with a pattern of the cranial sutures.


Really hope you guys like it.
 
Holy shit that’s a great use of that detail. Wonderfully envisioned!
