Finished my first knife using the mill. It sure did make things easier but it took me a bit longer than normal figuring things out. I used paperstone for the first time as a handle material and am really happy with the way it came out.

Barlow in O1 Tool steel.
Closed 3 1/2" OAL 6 3/16"
Nickel Silver bolsters, liners and pins.
Cabernet Paperstone scales.

spring sets nice and flush in all 3 positions. Medium pull and a nice snappy walk and talk.

comments welcome and critiques.

 

Thanks all! John pointed me towards the paperstone and it's really a nice material. Im anxious to see how some of the other colors look.

 

Thanks fellas. I really appreciate the comments. This was a fun build. I need to get some WIP photos up next time. I just have to remember to stop what I'm doing and take a few pics!

 

Thanks Scott

 

Thanks fellas....I LOVE barlows...but Ive been carrying a sodbuster that is growing on me. As for green, I haven't found any green paperstone BUT I do have some canvas micarta setting on the shelf just waiting for the right project.

 

I've seen some of that and thought that a thin liner in that might be useful.
