[@666toysoldier]

Wicked! However, Major Rex Applegate was of the opinion that the flash of a bright blade added to the psychological impact.

[@artmetalscience]

I imagine it would, thanks.

So that dust from cutting and sanding antler, particularly any tool that puts that dust in the air, is incredibly bad for your lungs. Please make sure to wear a dust mask when working with horn and antler, stay safe.

[@artmetalscience]

I agree thanks for the comment

[@Slay_No_More]

What would you recommend as a respirator?

[@chrism3839]

@@Slay_No_More don’t need a respirator, just a dust mask that is well fitting.

[@zacgraves3328]

What was the band you used to do the handle glue up? Beautiful job

[@artmetalscience]

It's a Bessey variable angle strap clamp, thanks.

[@michaelmorrison4843]

The handle is too long, but otherwise it turned out nice! 🤔👍

[@artmetalscience]

Thanks for checking it out!

[@geraldstamour1312]

Now this knife needs an equally dope sheath to complete the package, @artmetalscience!

[@artmetalscience]

Yes it does, thanks for checking it out!

[@taterbug70]

wear your respirator when you sand or cut bone. antler or similar thing because that dust is hideous and gets stuck in your lungs. Its hooked when you look at it under the microscope.

[@artmetalscience]

Yes I know, I should have had it on, no excuses, thanks for the thoughtful comment, much appreciated.

[@taterbug70]

@@artmetalscience keep making cool stuff and don't let all that dust and metal powder get in your lungs!
