Modified this Openial No8 for my daughter. She found an antler last year while we were walking a Munroe in the Scottish highlands so i used a bit of that for the handle. Turned down the collar end on the lathe to fit the Openial hardware slotted the handle by clamping it in the woodworking vice and running a small cordless saw over it. Took a couple of hours so not bad for a complete custom job. The antler is the same curve as the blade so it is actually far more slim line and neat than a standard Opeial handle.
