I ordered oneof the razor edge boot dagger knife kits from Jantz Supply this past monday. they said it would ship out weds and be 3 to 4 days, so I hope to get it next week. I was wondering what tools and supplies I will need so I can make sure to have them on hand when the knife gets here cuz I go back to college next weekend and would like to finish it before then. Please include any tips or shortcuts! Thanks!

You'll need something to cut the handle material with and profile it. If your using wooden scales probably sandpaper up to 400 grit. If micarta go even finer. If your putting finish on wooden scales you'll want some ultra fina steel wool to use on the final coat.
To attach the scales you need epoxy.I like the 30 minute kind. And something to drill holes for your pins. A file would be good to take off excess pin if you don't have a beltsander, and a ball peen heammer to peen the pins down. Thats all I can think of.

Fix it right the first time, use Baling Wire !
