I finished up two (2) sets of two (2) knives. New patterns for each set. First up. 1075 carbon steel blades with textured black g10 scales. Red liners. Saddle tan sheath with black braid.

My ah-ha moment was the first time I used a Bruce Bump file guide. Made plunge lines so much easier to match.

Very very nice!!!

With some trial and error, tinkering, and practice, some of the pins turned okay pretty good. Lots of room to get better.

Not perfect. But way better than the beginning. I have several more pins to practice on. Thanks again, mike miller.

A bit more work and it will turn out fantastic…

That worked out very well. Mike - great tip. Much appreciated.

Mike Miller thank you for the tip. I am going to give it a shot.

Using any kind of metal on your sheath may cause damage to a knife. Conchos, rivets, studs,. need to be placed extremely well if not covered up by a liner. Pushing/pulling your blade across a metal object is a bad thing to do.

That is great advice. Masking tape with a hole. I can do that. Thank you!!

Pins are stainless. Sand them how??

Any tips are appreciated. How would you finish this pin? This is the opposite side pin. I sanded it and epoxied it into the handle flush to the scales. Easy peasy. This is the other side of the same pin. I do not want to ruin the textured scale. How would you guys attempt to finish this...

Those are beautiful!

Going to be a killer piece…

Those liners are bright. Great job. Sometimes that task is hard to pull off.
