Cleaned up the blade, satin finished the primary grind but left the “rougher” original steel look on the flats(you can still see the blown out edge at the bottom as well)[attachment file=“Grind close up.jpg”]
Cut handle scales out of mango wood, pinned & glued.[attachment file=“Handle glue clamped.jpg”]
Rounded and sanded the handle…alot.[attachment file=“Rough handle.jpg”]
And viola! A finished knife…actually there were a few more steps but limited to 4 pics per post I guess.
Knife was clamped and Wicked Edged at 14dps down to 2000 grit lapping film and 5/3.5u leather strops.
