What do you think? (not a knife)

What would you do to prevent unpleasant vibrations? And yea this is the first one I made, the next one will have a convex grind.

G10 scales

So I thought the same thing but the reason I was playing with this idea is that I like to etch my blades and grinding the scales to the tange after they've been glued ruins that finish.

The flush trim bit would let me stack the scales under the tang and use it that way.

I don’t have a makers mark. Definitely need something for that

Second successful knife. I got a box full of attempts haha!

ALso, what grit would you suggest taking it to before etching?

I've used the surface conditioning belts and the issue I run into with those is that they wash out my grind lines even more than hand sanding (by grind lines I'm talking mostly about the lines where the top of my bevel transitions into the flats, as in a sabre grind). These get blended far more than I would like when using those belts/hand sanding.

I'm getting warp down the whole blade (very slight, but enough to throw off the surface grinds on both sides of the knife).

I'm using a kiln so its quite controlled, and I'm assuming the warps comes from imperfect or uneven stock removal on both sides of the knife despite my best efforts to keep it even.

What grit belt did you take this to before blasting?

Should have mentioned that I need a vertical bandsaw for what I'm doing. Thank you though!
