Sweet Job! I didn't think you could pull off that Mora handle, but you did.

[thrillbilly]

do u have any pics of the mora with naked tang? how much do u have to work with under that round mora handle?

[oXide]

Those are just plain awesome!

The tang is about 3/16-1/4 inch thick, but I didnt hollow that micarta out, the slabs are sealed with glowing crap aswell so both the tang and the sides glow. Thinking about putting a pin in it to as whilst the epoxy is pretty strong its not THAT strong...

Those are just plain :jerkit!

Thanks...I guess? LOL.

Sweet Job! I didn't think you could pull off that Mora handle, but you did.

The glow inserts only go about an 1/8th inch into the scales and the scales are a little under 1/4...You wont have a problem.

so is the micarta one-piece? or two scales? I like this idea..I may try it on my mora

[Nsvens89]

Very cool, I really like the look of that mora. You should toss a picture of that next to your 14 in there so it doesn't get tossed out of the subforum. I would also like to see the two side by side

2 pieces, made like any other set of scales.

Nsvens, let me know if this is good enough.

i got some strontium aluminate stuff, i've been painting layers on some acrylic BK14 handles. blue and green. not as bright as i'd like, but pretty good... apparently it's the acrylic based "fabric paint" - i have other ideas for it.

i could probably do better with pure powder mixed with epoxy; tougher too

If you cover shipping I'll give it a try, but that's probably gonna be twice what the knife cost anyhow...
