Cap or anyone else "in the know"; could I send in moose horn for handle material? Also, I once had the inside of a moose horn slabs that I had a local knife maker use and it sure came out nice looking. So if a round moose horn antler is not possible, what about slabs on a full tang, like a CDT? Thanks-

Mike,

At one time one could use Moose antler as full handle material. A number of years ago I obtained a "Big Bear" Bowie with just such handle.

The piece of antler was selected by the late Tom Clinton for the original owner, from the antlers of an Alaskan "cousin" of mine. This was confirmed when I met Tom at the 2005 Blade Show. He remembered the knife and thought it was probably the only Randall ever made with Moose antler.

I'm sure Dirty Water can tell us more about the use of Moose past and present.

Below are some photos.















Needless to say this is one of my favourite Randalls!

Cheers!

David
