Started with a file just like this one
Cut out a blank with an angle grinder
Roughed out my grind angle free hand on a bench grinder
Cut out scales of cherry
Cutting 1/8in brass rods for pins
Ready to glue scales to the knife
Waitin for the epoxy to dry
Sanding down the scales with belt sander, rasp, and file
Rounding into shape
First coat of linseed oil
Polishing the blade with 2000 grit wet/dry paper
Shiny!
Two of my favorite knives
The knife that inspired my design, Horace Kephart's knife
Sigh, there goes my nice clean workshop. All this from just putting the scales on.
I have an older version of that Buck revolution. It's a great knife. YOUR knife turned out really nice. It looks pride inducingly similar to Kephart's knife. How thick is the blade? Did you do a flat grind? Have you put it to the test yet?
