Ariel, I like the bolsters! Thank's for the progress report. It gives me ideas for MY knife from your project. Is it 2009 yet?

Thanks

Nah, not 2009 yet, but it'll be soon! What number are you? I have listed you with the real name probably.

Butch, that is exactly how I do it nowadays. I used to make it with a hammer before, but the press is way more efficient

mmm, I don't know.

The jeans micarta looks really nice, but to me it doesn't fit with the knife. I personally would have seen some stabilized wood on this one.

I may order one for myself like that someday... someday.

Woohoo! Looks great Ariel. Does that mean #10 is going to be on the bench shortly?

Thanks folks, the guy that order it like this love it

CO, I still have to make #4, #5, #6, #7 and #8 before yours.

My customer won the raffle on my site some months ago, and I cut this in so he could have both knives together.
