The Antler Horn Handle

Antler horn is one of the most prized natural handle materials in knife-making. Each piece of antler is naturally shed by deer or elk, making it a sustainable, cruelty-free material. The natural curves, texture, and color variations of antler horn make every handle completely unique — no two knives will ever look exactly alike. The antler provides a warm, organic contrast to the cool, patterned Damascus blade.

Care Instructions

• Dry immediately after washing
