Well... I have started to work on these with a vengeance! :toxdance:
I'm trying to get these cranked out for you guys! I have wanted to get these out in your hands for a while now. Here's what I've been doing...
First I decided to grind the shape in the bottoms of the guards.
The next step is to polish the flats. This has to be done before you glue the handle scales on.
Since the leather is going to take a while, I made up a mock knife for my leather guy Butch to use for fitting the sheaths. This will allow him to get started today on the leather. This will be used to fit the sheaths on the production run also.
Next up is getting the handle scales all cut out. I'll have pics of that tomorrow or the next day. I'm hoping to get these glued up this week.
