Scott should finish his latest sword cane project in the next few days. Here are a few shots that show installation of the throat and sheath.

First, Scott glues the throat to the sheath.

Then he coats the top and interior sides of the throat with Vaseline to protect these areas from glue during installation.

Next, the parts he wants to glue into the shaft are cleaned with acetone.

West Systems epoxy with filler is the medium that holds all the internal parts firmly together.

Scott applies epoxy to the sides of the sheath and the act of pushing it slowly into the shaft fills the cavity.

After a final cleaning with acetone, the sheath and throat installation is complete.

Scott still needs to install the ferrule and sign the project, but he's working on several knives so the final pictures may not go up until Wednesday. Thanks for looking.

Thank you, Ma'am, for documenting another great piece from your shop.

As an aside, my wife and I went out to dinner last night and she wore her Damascus pendant I got from you.

 

[EScott]

Excellent. I'm glad she likes it. We're planning to bring a few to Blade Show as well, but Scott needs to finish a few knives first. See you soon!

This is just unbelievably badass yet gentlemanly and refined. The total weight - 17 oz - is really impressive. Thank you for sharing!

Incredible materials, craftmanship, fit and finish, design, aesthetics, everything.
Beyond it's commercial price, it's a priceless work of art.

RESPECT.
