That handle is really well done. Consider making a second traditional sheath for it using the info I messaged you.

Been a busy few weeks (for me), made 5 knives which is more then what I made the past 18 months. attempted my first two wa handles and first time doing resin casting. I do not sell knives yet, still not perfect, but was asked to donate one to spikesk9fund for a fund raiser. So this first one went to them. .085 AEB-L, 62HRC cocobolo, some epoxy that was a cutoff and some live edge burl I was given and stabilized. (Didn’t take any photos after final fitting or sharpening)

This one was some .110 Damascus I picked up from a local knife maker quitting the hobby and burl again, and my first attempt at resin casting, the extra resin cut off this handle went to the first knife. The spacer has is from my old skateboard and in the resin is a Mt. Hope bridge token from my home town in RI. (Mt. Hope is a 209ft “hill”)

And the rest mainly cocobolo ebony g10 liners etc. getting there.

Nice. I hope my first attempts at Wa handles come out anywhere near as nice!

hey torqueguy, if you keep your handle and sheath pressed together while doing the shaping, they will be the same size, looking streamlined and add much visual appeal to them

I used two cutting disk to do 99% of cut and then I broke 15 cutting disk to finish it ............ I'm wizard with Dremel
It is 0.5mm

Well the skills in this thread sometimes make me wanna sell my grinder, torch the shop and just move on. Amazing stuff.
Ok this is my third attempt at a knife blade. A small EDC in RWL-34. It's getting 1/8" thick textured/peel ply black G-10 scales and probably just a lanyard tube later on. (Never mind the odd hole in the middle)
