One of biggest struggles since getting into knife making has been when to get rid of items (worn belts, steel scraps, handle scraps)
Most difficult is my pile of handle cutoffs. I keep anything over about 1/2” wide. Keep telling myself maybe I’ll use the cutoffs as spacers, etc but I never do. This is for normal things like g10 and micarta. Don’t even get me started on the exotic woods, hybrid scales, resins...
So do you all chuck the cutoffs, or will there be a time when I’m happy I’m sitting on a pile of worn out belts and scale pieces?
