Mini drop point

[skonkworks]

I'm getting the hang of this bevel grinding... Here's a mini drop point hunter I started yesterday, made from a small Nicholson file. Overall length is about 7 inches. The scales are hand made micarta style, using nylon webbing and West Systems 105. It's pinless. I machined a slot through the tang so that the epoxy would bond.

Hopefully after a few finishing passes, the orange will brighten up. Might have to throw some epoxy on the scales to make it shine.

Finished it up. Very disappointed in the handle finish. I won't be using nylon again. But oh well, it's a learning experience. I'm happy with the blade, and the knife overall.
