Father and son knives

[Rancid Crabtree]

A guy in our archery club asked me to make a set of knives for him and his son. He gave me two shed antlers and asked that I make his for a left handed user and his son's for a right hander. I saved the brow tines for display bases. I still need to make the sheaths.

The blades are O1 steel heat treated and twice tempered to RC60

I made the sheaths for the Father and Son set using 8 Oz. Oak tanned leather with a medium brown dye.
