Beautiful work.A large group, all one order. These are gifts for the customer's grandkids. He supplied the bone for the handles from an antelope he shot:

As the bones were hollow it took quite a bit of filling with white epoxy to get them usable. If I'd of cut the scales flat there wouldn't have been enough width in the scale to cover most of the tangs.

Yep I think so too. The bone handled knife on the antelope, I made him many years ago from the shin bone of his first buffalo. Made him wooly chaps from his second buffalo:Beautiful work.
The bone coming from an animal he harvested should make the knives more special to his grandkids.
