That is a sweet knife! :thumbup: But help me with this:

"the tang is hidden and the guard, pins and tapered frame are 304 SS "

Help me understand what this is, and the advantage of it.

Thanks!

its just a different kind of build and allows a nice look while having a full tang that is tapered but a guard

it was also to help me get the tricks of the frame handle takedowns in my head (i just didnt want to mess with screws to make it a take down)

Do you have any in process pictures that you can share? I am still missing your explanation. It is early however, and my coffee is still brewing.

Maybe J.R. Cook's Constructing a Frame Handle is in the ball park of what he did?

thats alot like i did sept i uses a brazed in nut and floating bolt to tighten up the frame to the guard (made fitting the frame to the guard a snap as i coiuld take off and ajust really easy

after i have all fitted up i MIGed things so they could not loosen then fitted the scales
