Kearnach Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 A lot of firsts with this knife: My first frame handle design, wanted to make it out of canvas micarta cause I thought it would look cool and be a little easier to work than steel. My first successful "Coke Bottle" handle. First time working with O1, and I love it. My first "real" guard, slotted and soldered on. Unresolved issues with the knife: 2nd pin hole is lower than it should be. Kydex sheath is scratching the NS guard. A couple of the "hidden" pins are trying to show, but sharpie keeps them from shining. Can't quite seem to get the finish right on the Micarta, but after about 5 hours of hand sanding a working knife, it's time to move on. There's still some random scratches, but as above, time to move on to the next project. All in all, this knife was a lot of fun, and feels good in the hand. It'll shave, and has a good deal of flex in the blade, I'll be happy to carry it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
