I have had quite a week chasing my seven month German Sheppard puppy around the shop. She has been stealing antler whenever I set it down on the bench and running off with it.

I have made over a dozen knives this week with moose, sambar and red deer stag handles and she has decided that this is the greatest stuff since roast beef.

Get in touch with a local farrier. Ask him if he can give you some hoof trimmings. My family's dogs used to love them, and since my dad was a farrier, there were always plenty of them lying around.

I WOULDN'T do that if I were you :) My dogs try to eat hoof trimmings every time the farrier is out. Then later that night they puke up the peices. Smells terrible :eek:
 
I took an old Henkels knife and rehandled it with a deer jawbone once. It was laying on my work bench finished, looking all tribal and everything and a stray coon hound that adopted us decided she like it. I don't have any idea how long she chewed on it but it's my guess just long enough to figure out that it bit back :D I found the blade and what was left of the handle laying in the yard with a little blood on it.:eek:
 
She has all the scrap antler she wants but there seems to be something irresistable about a scale or a finished knife before it is polished. Elk seems to be the antler of choice.
