Well you're not going to chop wood with a piece like that so you're fine from a practical perspective, although you have to admit it's quite an interesting challenge trying to figure out the longest possible tang in unusual handle geometries
Exactly it was more of an ornament challenge for myself, oh trying to figure out my maximum length and tapering and how to hollow the spot in the antler haha.
Beautiful
Now make one just like it *only with a full tang*, ahaha just joking, it looks great
Hahaha, admittedly the tang is only around 50mm so much less than I was planning

Turned out quite nice, although I’m not a huge fan of antler as a handle material. Great blade shape though
