You have a great looking knife!Too late, folks. This one of a kind sweetheart of a knife is mine now. The pictures don`t do it justice at all either. It is a pure piece of working art. All it needs is some blood on it.
Brother Hank, many thanks.
I was fortunate enough to hold that little beauty today. Congrats Nick! Awesome work of art Hank!
Nope. The dark color is indicative of the trees that bull was horning back in the day. Depending on the trees, some will have very light colored antlers and others rubbing on sappy trees like pinyon pines etc will be dark. It's all in what you find. I do dye some, but mostly its the big sheds I find that are "in the white", having laid out a few years and bleached by the sun. A product called Briwax will bring em back to new condition. Briwax is a combination of bees wax and dyes and its made in England. Its actually a wood dye for furniture makers and obviously comes in several shades. I've used Dark Oak and Light Walnut and they look great.
