Extra-fine, Bill....... :)

Looking forward to seeing the others you have. :cool:
 
Bill, beautiful knife yet again. Love everything about it especially the twist in the spacer, the guard and the butt cap are sheer class!!
 
Love it! How di you manage the twist in the gaurd? Im trying to think how to not show where the ends meet and make sure it stays in the groove.

Yes. ^^^ Same question.

Stunning work Bill. There's something about the shape of that guard that really appeals to me, and that piece of stag is perfect.

Thanks everyone for the nice comments, I truly appreciate it.

cbr900son, I didn't connect the wires in the groove, I drilled 2 holes slightly apart that would accept the twisted wire, then I pulled each end up into the spacer leaving about 1/2" tag ends
in the tang cavity, this way when everything was epoxied together there's no way the wire can come out or lose. I'm thinking on the next one to drill a slightly larger hole that will accept the 4 wires together and then twist them together once they've been forced up into the tang cavity, My biggest concern is not having anything come lose thats why I fed them up into the tang cavity.
