Still putting the final touches, but she's 99% there.

Another 50+ year old file, forged to shape, deferentially heat treated with APG-36 and Parks 50 quench, and a 3D printed high-density polymer handle that was designed to fit the tang like a glove. I was tempted to water quench but wasn't willing to risk it since I was already leaving the teeth on. 

Also included a pic of an acrylic knife display I made myself at my new job, designing for and operating lasercutters.

How did you make your slabs

After I forged the blades I measured the tang's dimensions, then 3D printed the hand/slab as one unit that slid over the tang - I designed it so the holes were already drilled, just needed to drill the tang, epoxy, and throw in the pins.

Man that handle is awesome! Love the knotwork. 

Thank you! I am a big fan of Celtic knots, and have been trying to work it into my blades where it fits.

Here's the completed mahogany sheath.
