Paper micarta seems to sand and finish just like any other micarta perhaps a bit more gummy

I had to add some thickness to the frame for three of these knives, and the fourth is close enough that I can excavate the handle scales slightly to get everything to mate together.
With these, I epoxied 1/16" spacers to the frames and held them in place with tiny brass pins. Note to self- it's easier to remove material than to add it in cases like this

took a class @ dragons breath forge this past weekend. Great experience, well worth taking a class if you are somewhat close by.
Here is the finished result, 1095 spring, 52100 blade with SS loners and all screw together construction.
