This book is highly recommended for all knife-makers and enthusiasts interested in making their own antler knife handle.
An ideal partner to our Hand Forged Knife Blade, crafted by Swedish blacksmith Julius Pettersson, as well as the antler pieces we stock, sold in Rolls and L-Shapes.

While the subject and craftsmanship demonstrated in this book are well presented, and Ulf Avander certainly is a master of his art, unfortunately I felt that the content of the book suffered in poor translation from Swedish, with what could've been a pleasant paperback pamphlet of a few pounds was unneccecarily expanded by printing only one side, and hardbound to justify a hefty £28.00 pricetag.
