hey I like it dye is up to you I like darker horn but I also would rather see natural antler well because it is natural

 

[TekSec]

Love the style! Yup, throw some Fiebling's on it and make it purty!!!!

Is that a micarta guard?

I likr the antler natural but- pottasium permanganate if mixed with water will give you a color very close to Sambar on the bark and won't come off, if theres polished areas you can use it for less time and give it that aged look.

Naw looks fine as is. Rub some super glue on it to seal and call it done.
Take care

NONONONONO!!!

The grayish natural age of the antler speaks volumes for it!

That is a truly beautiful knife as is, and it would be a real shame to dye the antler only to discover after it was too late that you liked it better before the dye!
