mattydski 560 Posted October 27, 2012 Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 I hope you feel I did the blade justice mate.......................... The Scales are Tulip wood, fitted with copper 1/4" mosaic pins, and 3/8" Copper mosaic lanyard tube. The ferrocerium rod was finished in Tulip wood as well. I wouldn't say it was perfect........ Its my first proper, no holds barred knife, but I've learnt a lot and reckon I could improve the next.. Now I know the score. The handle was sanded to death by hand, then sanded some more with micromesh, upto 12000 grade. The finished with Tru oil sealer, oil and wax.. Incidently,. the wood was chosen as it matches the rose laminate stock on My Sako Stalking rifle....... But this is no show piece, and will be gralloching the next kill......
