Just finished forging and heat treating this Japanese style chef knife out of Apex Ultra. Excited to finish grinding it then start testing it.

Hey guys your help would really be appreciated on this one. I'm making a friction folder and I'm going to have some aluminum liners inflated into the micarta. I'm wondering how you guys would go about getting these in there.

CNC, and a mill are off the table. I have a router, dremel, woodworking tools, generally stuff like this. My first instinct is to take the router and rough out the middle of the area the aluminum will be inlayed, then either use the chisels, or dremel to go from there.

Idk would love some help.

the only tool I have that I can think of which might work would be my drill press

Just about to put some koa pants on this Overlander.

That's not a bad idea, just use it like the router, but be able to have it going at lower speeds and be able to control it better?

I might go with that. And use the drill stops.

Maybe chris Reeves?

I believe you are correct. Looks like a Sebenza.

I'd just drill to a set depth and then remove the rest with the dremel

not sure what I'm going to do with this handle yet, but it's all together and looking pretty not too bad

It's an MBK Sea Otter

I may do that, then go around roughly leaving more to take off with a bit from my router, then use the dremel for the details.

Also you gotta admit, that thing does look a lot like something Chris Reeves would make.
