Thanks guys.
OK, things are getting exciting. I polished up some things and now we are ready to assemble the knife for the last time.
I tinted the epoxy with a little blue. I think it will look nice with a thin wash of it over the file-worked spacers. I also greased the the threads so that I can cut the tang to finish length and seat the nut after the epoxy hardens.
Epoxy is running out all over the place, that's OK, I will clean it up with some acetone afterward.
The butt cap is in place. I'll tighten up the nut and let the epoxy harden.
Here's a shot after cleaning off all the extra epoxy.
The other side. Tonight I should be able to give it a hand rubbed polish and set the inlays and it's done.
The final reveal tomorrow.
