Hi, thank you for your post, I am in constant contact with his wife and keep her informed of all progress. I am thinking all the Gladiators will be finished by Wednesday next week. out of 7 which will be finished 4 are available presently, they are $1000 just the knife or $1250 with leather sheaths, I will sell them as and when they are finished and ready.
 
The above picture shows how I mill away the excess pin material so I don't have so much heat build-up as I shape the handle on the grinder. As soon as you have heat build-up in the pin the epoxy will soften and the pin can move.
