Advice needed, please?

Cheers, Tim

Do they hold up ok to the leverage?

Works fine.
Handy pocket-sized opener.
Never tried embedding it in antler though.

I shall give it a try as I have a few spare cartridges hanging around and 2 spare Roe antlers to use.

Just have to take care not to inadvertently chamber it when the stag of a lifetime steps out in front of you.

Slightly different design to Tim's and uses a .50 Cal though I've seen them done with 5.56 right up to a 20 mm from a Phalanx CWS which you'd definitely struggle to chamber should that stag step out.

Turned out ok, I reckon

Look good.

The one on the left looks a little close to being exclusively for creedmoor owners

Well done!

Here is a few that I make when I have the time. I find Muntjac antlers particularly good for bottle openers as they sit in the hand nicely. Depending on the Roe antler, it can be somewhat uncomfortable to hold without some additional sanding. I also make the odd whiskey flight with Fallow antlers which have definitely been popular with my customers.

No muntjac up this way, sadly. The overwhelming majority of my deer are roe, although the corkscrew handle is sika. I absolutely hate discarding antlers, so this is a good way for me to get use out of them

Thanks @Quixote and @VSS for the idea.

I didn't realise how quickly the epoxy would start to set so one is wonky, the other is good.

A nice addition to give my Dad with the homebrew I've made him.

My wife has, in the past, been known to use her teeth despite my words of discouragement.

I used to do that as a teen. It's ok as long as you don't slip!

That's never a good thing...

Outrageous. Not even the slightest effort to conceal the screws. £100 asking price is bloody cheeky
