I’ve always wondered where to find deer anglers! Never passed through my mind that all petshops have dog chewing anglers . Brilliant!thank you!

Having worked with antler, I can smell this video! Great job!

Thanks for this. The intimidating part for me was shaping the neck. I used a Dremel but your hacksaw/file method smells a lot better and has more room for mistake Also tip for anyone reading, use a spring loaded auto punch/window breaker pen to take out the pin. Super smooth stuff and costs like $5

Wow That’s fantastic I would buy one in a heartbeat Great work

I was wondering what you were going to use to make the groove. Genius idea with the hack saw. Looks great with an antler handle. Nice work.

Nice video... wish I would have seen it before my first Opinel project that just finished using a Sambar Stag roll for a No.8... a Dremel tool really comes in handy... didn't know they made a hand belt sander like that... I used my Harbor Freight 1" belt sander to form the core that holds the knife. I had already watched a couple of videos that inspired me to do an Opinel knife... they both made it look too easy... I realized after finishing my first Opinel project ! I used a 40mm diameter circular metal saw disk on my Dremel tool to cut the knife slot, which worked fine until I reached the pointed knife end of the handle, then had to use a small file and a broken off hacksaw blade, and a couple different Dremel tool bits... had to use the small file pretty much on the hole slot. I like how you changed the shape of the blade... it took some time for me to get the slot just right so the knife was completely recessed into the handle so the point didn't stick out. Good idea on using the Superglue to strengthen the part of the handle that secures the blade... I'm going to do that with mine now too ! I always use mineral oil on my stag knife scales & handles... suppose to keep them from cracking... plus it gives them a nice look & sheen ! The Sambar stag roll that I used is about 3 3/4 inches long with the end being about one inch in diameter... I found a nice 1 Franc silver coin, dated 1918 (on ebay of course) that is about the size of a USA quarter, and epoxied it on the end of the handle... Looks great ! Now I am thinking about how to tighten up the metal rotating collar that holds the knife open and closed... I think it might just need to be removed again, and squeezed in a bit.

...получился отличный обновленный опенок, молорик, хвалю!!!

great work best part is the space on the pinkey and i got the same bad habit working on stuff in the living room

My favourite knife ,I dont leave home without one in my pocket , great job.. may just have a go at this modification ...

Very nice job. I can almost smell that antler working smell.

Хорошая рукоять получилась крепкая и красивая

A fine bit of craftsmanship! Nice work! Peace

I liked the opinal blade . I stopped using mine right away . In the field it got wet and swelled. I will try this next time mine turns up . Thanks for sharing.

C 'est génial ,bravo .

Круто!!!!👍 Руки из нужного места!!!!👍

A very nice video. I want to try something like this eventually but first I have to get ahold of an antler big enough. All but one of the deer I've managed to bring in so far have been does.

Thank you for transforming the good old Opinel of the Frenchs

Superb! I recon you could put opined out of business! Well done 👍

Superb mod. Great video.

Das ist das schöne am Opinel -man kanns ganz nach seinem Geschmack bearbeiten,ich hab das aus Carbon, die Klinge mit Senf bearbeitet,den Holzgriff bearbeitet,nun ist's perfekt für mich 🙂

That's a great job u done there.

Very nice! I usually don't care the modified Opinel handles I see on youtube. But your antler handle is cool and looks great. Opinel should consider offering stag horn and/or bone handles.

Пока ты пилил эти рога, у меня от запаха ком к горлу подкатывал....)) Классный нож получился

Very nice work. It was nerve wracking just watching.

Wow! Fantastic job.

Wunderbar, gratuliere Danke

Good job. Well done 👍

Мой вам совет - когда ставите лезвие, добавьте две хорошие шайбочки латунные, ну или фторопластовые. Тогда ход клинка будет приятнее. И не забываем отверстие под темляк.

Where did you get the hand held belt sander? Never seen one with such a narrow belt.

Beautiful!!!

Good work and beutifull pocket knife.

Very nice!

Awesome video ❤️👍

Outstanding

molto bello. bravo

awesome video...thanks I have always been wanted to do this for my opinel but don´t know where to start.

bloody nice job.

Superb!

Good job!

Very nice job. I want one

Excellent work I may attempt this next time I find a shed

Very nice!!!

Супер! Буду делать такой же

I woulda used the original beech hinge joint and hollowed in into the antler as even stabilized the antler core is pretty weak as its just too porous. its a beautiful piece just my thoughts from my exp using antler for fixed blade puko style knives :)

Amazing work, i wish i could replicate this.

how can I buy one? beautiful!

Awesome

Nice!

Very nice

If you have headphones in, go to :37 for a glorious sound!

super

Why using a crown part of the antlers if you cut it away?

super ☺

Whaou... Nice mod , i'm impressed .. You should work for Opinel mate !! Greetings from France

Nice my son wants to make one

👊👏👏👏👏👏👏

Muy bueno enumeró es

Hermosas puñaletas

👍👍👍

👍

Красава!!!!!!!!!

Man needs a dressing

do you sell

That just says, “I am a knife and a pleasure to use. Just see if there’s something else needs cutting.”

someone doesn't like a clip point haha
