I drilled the handle, but the pin holes are 1/8 and I am now pondering 3/16, so that is yet to be decided, the 3/16 sure looks sexy though.
I ground the blade using an angle grinder, it is pretty rough. Then Put it on my coarse Norton, my fine Norton, some wet dry 1000 and a very light buff, and I do have a pretty decent edge (still a few small dead spots though).
I would have the scales done first, but I am waiting to use my workaholic brother's band saw, and got impatient to do something to it, so here we are.
A few paper slices, and some mediocre wood curls, but it is now actually a usable blade, so I guess I now have a knife, just sans handle. More to come as it happens.
