Pet store knife handles
« on: February 24, 2013, 08:52:56 pm »
I don't know if everybody already knows this or not but you can find some nice knife handles at the local pet store.  Some are big enough to maybe make a decent billet.

I started out with nothin' and I still got most of it left

That is close to half price of the pet store I was in a few days ago.

Wow, I am sitting on a fortune of antler at that price.  But, yeah, it would work in a pinch.

Clint, is that antler seasoned? Has it been treated ya know? Rumor has it some pet store antlers carry the hoof and mouth disease, so be careful Bud.

I don't know Roy.  I didn't buy any.  I am really getting interested in knife making and have been scouting out supplies.  How do you treat antler?

I have seen them in the local farm store in the pet section.  Did not pay attention to price though...

 Osage I come in a bit late on this guess that's what I get for not being on here much. That bag deal sounds better than they are around here but I think maybe around this site a feller should be able to get a better deal. I like to go out hunt'n the sheds in the spring but I only get $7 a pound out of my #1 bull horns and I was told them bags sale in our pet stores for $40-$50. A good bull horn average around 8# biggest I ever found was 14# man do I get robbed. >:D If I were you I'd giv'm a try but don't break the bank on them, our bulls start dropping good in about a month and I hope to spend alot of time hunt'n them. If my luck goes good I'll have to see about getting you some whole ones. Before I go cash in at the antler buyer I'll run some good ones across the trading post be April maybe May (giv'n I get to get out and I find'm don't like count'n chickens before the eggs hatch or in this case favors before the horns drop) ;D And I use way less antler than I find but it seems I'm always run'n short on something else usually stuff I never use when I do get it ??? :-[ :laugh: Hugh

All I can see is teaching a dog a very, bad habit. What's he chew on when the "chew toy" is gone? :'(
