What would you do with this?

So while moving to AK this spike bull rack, which was my first elk at 12yrs old, was broken. So I'm thinking of several options, and wanted input from you fellas.

The options I'm thinking about are:
-fix the rack and remount it as is
-Send the antlers to a custom knife maker and have them used as scales on 2 custom knives, one for me, and one for my boy (when he's old enough)
-If I did have knives made, have the scales replaced on the Buck 110,that gutted this bull and was my first hunting knife, with antler from this bull also

Thoughts?

Scales for the custom blades and for the 110. Your son will really appreciate his knife later in life.I still carry my grandfather's barlow and have for 55 years.

I think the scales are a nice idea. There should be enough material there for 2 customs AND the 110, right?

Sorry Ken, those ones aren't the ones I need to send you pics of

I'm liking the idea of the knives, any suggestions on knife makers

Good ideas on the knife scales.

If you want them fixed and remounted. Send them my way and I'll fix'em up for free.
