Nature plays a big part in the creation of Barto’s Antler Knives and Knife stands. After the Elk and Deer shed their antlers, the animals such as squirrels and porcupines chew on them for the calcium content. Then the rain, snow and the heat of the sun opens natural cracks in the antler. The combination of the forest creatures and the element of the weather create the character in which Ben Barto looks for when he hand selects each piece from dozens of different antler suppliers. Antlers are like fingerprints. No two will ever be alike ensuring you a one of a kind treasure. The same also holds true for Turquoise stones that Ben also hand selects that are inlayed into some of the antler handles. Blade is 440 Stainless. The overall length is 10"
