Question for some Knifenuts

[chavez556]

I just finished grinding this 0-1 Jap Tanto and wanted some Knife nuts opinion's, how to finish the handle.

1. Traditional Tsuka Maki or similar cord wrap.

2. G-10 with g10 liners ( I was thing jade ghost g10)

Let me know what you think.

I say natural (aka "jade") G10 scales with brown (or other dark natural color) G10 liners, and skeletonize the liners...

Nice work thus far!

Im thinking jade with yellow and black liners and black micata pins

I personally like the cord wrap better. I would use a bright colored cord wrap not too obnoxious but a shade of lighter green maybe.

Yeah, that'd work nicely. :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

Plus you could use carbon fiber pins/tubes for extra pizzazz.

I do have some cf tubing .

Here is a picture of the knife finished.

This one is 5/32 " 0-1 tool steel, with red and black g10 liners, under jade ghost g10

Looking good!

But what about the pins?... Are those cf?

 

[chavez556]

No mircata. I don't think they make carbon fiber pins. I bet they are a nightmare to finish.
