Gordon good to hear from you. I see you are on the list for the Boise show. :) I finished up late last nite. After I router out the profile. I like to knock off all that high spot with the slack belt. Then I go to the hand finishing. I start with 150 grit and progress to 600...

Thanks Gents, That copper piece in front was an afterthought. I had never tried doing that before and thought what the heck give it a try. It took 3 tries to get it the way I wanted. Copper that thin (.020) bends really easy when you try to drill and file. Bing MLazyB Custom Knives...
