Man, that's going to be a looker!!
Busted, I struggled between using 3D printers or injection molding until I found these sweats shops! They're the greatest!All mass production techniques. I've seen 'em in China. I thought you are a custom maker
Oh well

Thanks Dennis, hopefully I'll remember to get more pictures as I go. I'll be attaching the end cap hopefully in the wee hours tonight.Man, that's going to be a looker!!
I hate whoever is getting that one!
Great WIP, John! Thanks for taking the time to do these.
Hmmm, I think you may need to make a small, leather handled bird and trout and call it the PeeWee.Wee made the grass grow

Oh, man! No body told me there would be math!!I was asked recently how proud I leave the tang above the cap before I peen. Unfortunately the answer was, "I have no idea" lol. I guessed around .03 or .04ish. Figure I'd measure this one.

Looks like this one is .03" high with a .143" thick tang and .394" tall.
I'm gonna texture this one so took the cap down to 600 grit random swirls to avoid striations. The swirls will disappear in the texture, sometimes directional sanding shows up in certain light.
From here I'll mix some epoxy and peen it before it cures.
Wow, that's a really geeky post.
Geeky edit: When I start to peen, I'll clamp the blade in the vice, not the handle material.
