Jerry rigged KaBar handle vise

[eveled]

2 C clamps with a wood spacer clamped in a vise. 2 small clamps to keep them from spreading. The rest is self explanatory. I think. Any questions just ask.

Lesson learned, it sat all night, when I took it off there was 1/4 inch gap at the guard. The clamps were pinching the ricasso. I had pressed the blade out of the handle. So I added a spacer to keep the pads of the clamps just far enough apart to allow the ricasso to float. Added another washer repressed it and pinned the pommel.

Here it is. I'd like honest opinions on how it turned out.
