For the second year in a row I'm making a knife for a B4K auction. Just thought I would share some pics here
Some test fitting.
Once it's all glued together I hand file and sand it to smooth it out. Tedious but makes it look nice. I tried using the sander and grinder at one point during previous projects but the heat generated had adverse effects on the epoxy. Once it's glued I only hand file/sand now.
I decided to go with a guthook blade and two different metals in the guard this time for something different.
I still have a little final sanding, buffing and cleanup of the tape residue, etc. to do but the knife is basically done.
I'll be starting the sheath tomorrow night.
I'll take some more pics as I go through the sheath making process and of the final product.
