Filing the thumb slot... everything is chamfered or rounded for comfort. This one has a ways to go...
Wet sanding the flats - this is done many times on the blade and scales to ensure flatness. I'm using a granite surface plate for accuracy and windex to help the paper cut cleanly.
Looking better...
Drop Point Blade!
I'm using a horizontal grinder to polish and keep my edges "square"
I just worked on some od green micarta before this, the stench of phenolic is awful! lol that is the green dust everywhere
More cleanup... 600 grit at this point
