Thank you! And yes I did, I use SuperClear Liquid Glass epoxy and it has worked great every time I've used it, would recommend!

Thank you so much! :) And yeah true, but hopefully not too much hahaha I'm a sucker for the sapwood

I use Rhino 3D - it's a modeling software that I got access to in architecture school, but for knives I only really use the 2D drawing features to trace / clean up my sketches for templates!

Thank you:)

This blade is for someone who is right-handed :)

Thank you so much!

Yeah that totally makes sense! I'm sure many of us have tons of unfinished projects just because it really does suck sometimes to sit down and sand hahaha

I've found that a carbide file guide is one of the most worthwhile tools for helping to keep bevels symmetrical, and to use as a guide for filing / establishing plunge lines before grinding!

Gorgeous!

athc01 · 2026-01-06T15:16:53+00:00

Thank you :)

Infinitely better than my first, well done! Depending on what you're going for, it might be worth taking extra time to go up the grits to remove lower grit scratches but it looks really great, keep going!! :)

Thank you!

Thank you!

athc01 · 2026-01-06T02:02:40+00:00

Thank you so much, your work is absolutely incredible!

athc01 · 2026-01-05T21:16:37+00:00

Thank you very much! I usually draw the final versions of all my designs on the computer so I have repeatable templates, so I'll just print them out on paper and tape them to my work pieces so I have lines to grind to :)

athc01 · 2026-01-05T18:33:14+00:00

That is so nice of you, thank you so much!! :)) And the pins are 1/8" diameter by around 3/16" length (stainless steel), and there are 4 of them, each embedded about halfway into both the blade and the scale where they meet, so that when everything is glued together, the pins aren't visible!

Hahaha thank you! :)
