Some handle work from me

[knifemaniac]

Some handle work from me. My friend bought Spyderco mule team blade and it needed handle. Black G10 and L304 stainless steel tubes, epoxied together. Spuderco mule team G10 slabs and stainless tubes

I blue the tubes reaming, bacause I still dont have a drill press and I have to repair it now, but it is looking good to me so far. Thanks for looking.

If you flare the tubing you won't need to ream it.
Tubing like this is easily reamed with a sharp pocket knife.

It is 1mm thick tube walls. it seems to me quite hard to flare them. And I was not sure about the hole size before flaring. And most of all - I dont have a flaring dies or whatever it needs to do it. Can you guys show me such press or something like that to flare tubes?
