That looks great, man! You did an amazing job on the scales, especially the contouring!

You do teriffic work. I want to try this some day. (just for my own use of course)
Thanks for the inspiration.

Sweet mod, almost looks like a custom bump now...

Beautiful job. I would imagine the end product would be a bit hefty.

Someone out there probably makes hex mortising chisels, but I couldn't afford to ask the price. If you have a mortising machine, could you use a small chisel to shape the corners for your hex? Alternative: round off the corners of the nut, epoxy in place.

I need to get some woodstock laminates and try a little of this myself. Keep the pix coming!

When matured it looks gorgeous! I absolutely like it.

What do you feel about rounding/sanding slightly off the sharp, external edge of the torx screw holes? I always have the paranoia of wood edges getting damaged but it is in a round hole so it is safer.

By the way, I also love your choice of wood, Lignum Vitae is my favorite ever!

That's not a bad idea. Just a little bit of a chamfer around the holes.

I haven't had any problems yet with damage, but I haven't carried this knife much lately.
