I’ve enjoyed googling BP questions over the years and seeing the answers here on this site. I’m getting more into muzzleloading vs cartridge guns. I have always enjoyed shooting and hunting with my TC Hawkin .50 and now I’m interested in exploring other parts of the BP galaxy, smooth bores, small bores etc. I live in the country and have 3 kids who enjoy shooting and hunting. I’ve gathered that folks here limit their conversation to traditional muzzleloading. I get that and I’m most attracted to traditional. But I do enjoy my bows (traditional and compound) too. Thanks for a cool forum.

Welcome from Anne Arundel county Maryland!
Try hammering over those screw heads so they look like rivets or pins. I will usually run the screws all the way through so that a portion of the screw point is sticking out the other side, then file off most of the head and hammer/ paean over both sides to look like pins or rivets. Antler handle knives are always tricky, that "fork" may cause you issues later down the road, catching in your bag or poking yourself with the point.
