Hi Daniel,
please can you write more about the system that you use for to put the G10 scales on titanium liners. From the holes that I see on liners, I think that it is an interlocking system.
these 2 are part of a 3 pc set that I'm delivering today
slim handle paring and petty
No sir. It's Alabama Damascus with burlap and canvas micarta. Black liners, spacers and pins.That’s really nice, Lucius. Did you forge the Damascus yourself?
Thanks for the tips! I definitely should have done that. I started this thing on a 1x30 from HF. I am so glad its almost done. I will probably not be making knives this big again. It took approximately 15 hours of hand sanding to get just to 220 grit. I am still learning the 2x72. Thanks again.Dominick,
A tip on the handle - make the end of the scales at an angle from about 1/4" forward on the spine curving back to the neck. This has a more pleasing look.
Also, rounding the neck from that sharp 90° into a radiused transition makes it more comfortable in use.
