Thread: Various Knives

I was sent a pair of bog oak scales and a pair of small mamoth tusk pieces. The guy hadn't checked sizes before ordering but wanted to know what I could do with them for one of the knives he has on order. The mamoth tusk was marginally thicker on the one side so to get the most out it I decided to mill the front of the scales and use them as thier own liner under the tusk but angled the scale when milling the recess.
Then after the handle were dry fitted and shaped , I got them finish sanded and buffed. I will be able to re touch where the pins are in final assembly without harming anything else. Have lightly radiused the underside edge and the right round the steel as well and have etched it so for the next 12 hours it will sit in the coffee after which it get a carefull sit in hot water to clean residue off, be blow dried with the heat gun and get a spray down with wd40 then left for 48 hrs to "set" before the stone washing.
