G-10/G-11 ?

[Chris Martin]

Ok, Dogs. I am going to try for a Tactical-Hawk. My question is, would G-11 bolted to the steel with loc-tite work for a sturdy handle? I plan on making just the head out of steel/5160 or 6150 and then attaching the head of the Hawk directly to the G-11 material with bolts of some sort. I might counter sink the holes so the bolts will be flush with the material.

I am wanting to use the G-11 I got from Jim, handle will be around 9-10" OAL 1/4"-3/4" thick.

Any suggestions or will this work at all? If so, this will be going to the same buddy my first blade went to2thumbs I want something nasty for him to use while instructing them Strykers

Thanks Dogs,

Chris

Your gonna need the steel shaft to go all the way on the handle or it will break.

I had that feeling, I just know that when I went to try and cut some mon the bandsaw it was super tough. Guess thats what I get for dreaming....it would have been too easy anyway

I will figure out a way to run a good 1/8" or maybe a little thicker shaft and then bolt together and loc-tite everything. Wish I had a welder
