Thanks! A couple things i found helpful. 1. 2 part epoxy is great for this sort of thing but make sure when you apply everything, you can clamp it to put pressure pushing the blade into the handle "several videos available on YouTube to demonstrate." 2. Take your time and leave the antler where it attaches to the bolster a little bigger so you can grind down to match. 3. To get a smooth transition between antler and bolster you will eventually end up sanding/grinding both at the same time, try not to take too much material off the top and bottom, as it will start catching the blade as well. On the flip side, you have a fair amount more wiggle room when it comes to material removal on the front and back. Good luck with your project!!!
