Thanks for the info john and 308sniper I will be looking into getting some acraglass.
Jim thanks for the advice,I hadnt thought of it like that but it makes sense,glad you like the knife.Iv got some stabalised burl coming in orange and some more in purple cant wait to see how they look on another of alistars damascus blanks.Im going to get some ferric chloride as well and make some damascus bolsters as I realy love the way they look.
Thanks again to all who have assisted me especialy stacy....
