Mora #1

[HMC]

Guys, I bought a couple (12) blade blanks. I'd like to make a basic handle for 1, never did this before. Where do I start? Anyone else do this?

You will need a block or round of suitable wood, and a drill w/ a 1/4" bit.
And some epoxy would be nice, too.
Some blades and sandpaper to shape the wood.

Go for it!

Probably you've seen this, but Ragnar's site has some good, basic info:

Yeah, what I posted above was rather...um, minimalist.
There is a lot of good info on the Web about building knives, and Ragnar's is a good place to start.
I found that after I built a couple of knives that my appreciation for what the Pros do has really grown.
