Nice find Tim.
When antler is heated in boiling water the inner part becomes soft. When the tang is put in its place and the antler is cooling down the knife is thight in the gripp. In the bronze age the tang of bronze knifes where heated and stuck into the antler and in this way attached to an antler gripp. It has a scandinavian look to me. A letter opener could be. But bone knifes where used in the past. |
