    Burnishing 3-4 layer edges

    Trag won’t fill your remaining gaps. It’s strictly a slicking agent. You’ll want to buy a some wax and you can rub that area quickly which will heat the wax and fill the voids. After that, go back to about 220 grit then around 500 and slick it again. Should be good to go.

    Belt progression

    Rule of thumb is you can safely jump by 100 from grit to grit. No point in adding 6 more change outs to the mix.

    I hate making sheaths!

    As others have said… most won’t care and a nicer sheath will add value to the overall presentation. You’ll need to be able to justify about $100-$110 to recover your cost of outsourcing and what have you. I often make sheaths for a handful of makers including for myself and it seems to work well.

    Question re: Copper liners on Carbon Fiber.

    Never thought about it. Seems like there would have to be an electrolyte involved but I’ve never heard of or seen an instance of dissimilar metals having a negative impact on the knife.

    Knife ID help?

    Here are two knives a neighbor brought by and I didn’t have any answers for him. Being the local Knifemaker I get folks swinging by from time to time and see some interesting finds. Any ideas what either of these might be or who made the little folder?

    6.25" skinner/edc for sale

    Yes, indeed, I used epoxy to fill in the gaps and have a blue spacer material there as well. Sometimes I'll try to remove all epoxy so it's an open area around the vine or you can color the epoxy as well and that looks cool for some folks.

    Need help with hidden tang size.

    That piece is a great looking piece but I would set it aside and find you a smaller diameter. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Mammoth ivory scales tutorial???

    Can't point you toward a tutorial but I use the same approach as I do with wood scales. I'm careful to use a new bit for my pin holes and drill slowly. After that you're good to go. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
