I occasionally do kitchen knife sets and I have started a 3 knife set that I am doing with Dinosaur Bone scales. These are really tough sets to do as I use Viking Professional Cutlery and they are hardened steel. The handles are molded on at the factory over firescale covered forged steel and I need to file the tangs flat and even the bolsters need to be hand worked. I do everything with just hand tools, rotary Dremel wheels and hand files.
So, I end up having to fit hand cut stone to hand filed hardened steel surfaces. It is really challenging to get a good fit when doing both the metal and stone with just eye hand co-ordination.
Here are the pictures of the knives with some of the file work already done and the Dinosaur Bone I am using for the scales.
