where to have a custom handle made

[Mrmonte]

I dont know if this is possible but I want to use antlers from a deer that my father has killed for a knife handle. A quality folding pocket knife would be prefered but im open to other options. Id like to present this to him as a B-day present in the spring. Can anyone steer me in the right direction to someone who does this type of work? Im not much of a knife guy.

Do you want the knife made too, or do you want to find a nice folder and customize it?

Both are possible, but if time is of the essence it would probably be faster to find someone to apply the antlers as custom scales to an existing knife.

However if you have the money and time, there are a ton of custom knife makers that would take the job and you could come out with a very unique knife.

I would rather have someone to apply the antlers as custom scales to an existing knife. Something like a Case pocket knife? Would that be a decent quality pocket folder?

Go to the knifemaker area on Bladeforums. There is a services wanted area. There are alos a lot of makers on USN that would be glad to help you out (most of them are on both forums).
