I have just finished knife number three. Blade supplied by Savagewolfrm, home made Micarta paper liners (red), olive drab Micarta scales and black high impact liners (supplied by Wood and Knife Supplies.
End of last week I received my shiny new blank, from Rick (savagewolfrm), and started work on the Micarta liners and getting the rest of the bits together.





On Monday I bought the aluminium tube and extra epoxy.

Tuesday saw the arrival of the other components, courtesy of Wood and Knife.



I then proceeded with bonding the liners to the scales.



While they were curing, I knocked up some mosaic pins, plus some graphite epoxy filled pins (I had my doubts about the mosaics working out, and they didn't, so used the others )

Today the liners had cured, the pins were ready, and the day was young, so got on with drilling and "sticking" he lot together.





This afternoon the epoxy had set, all that was left to do was, shape it and smooth it.















And the finished article.
