I really like the curve of the handle, you picked a nice piece of antler.  I would have prefered a more natural color, a little less brown, for the handle but that will wear with age and use I suspect.

It looks like it will be a good working knife and with A-3 steel it will sure keep a good edge. A very nice knife.

Excellent work!  I have a similarly shaped piece of antler I hope to use.

I would not have picked that stain, myself.
BUT it turned out great.
I like the color of the handle.
VERY NICE.
