Scale fronts prepped prior to epoxy. I've been putting a thin layer of CA (CyanoAcrolatamophosgyrationaldoohickeyhypoglucosamyzinaphol or "Superglue" to us common folk) to help seal the fronts.

Yeah but can you say it backwards This is one blade that I am more and more excited about receiving and using! Thanks.

Ahhhhhh yep, was cutting something for the Mrs and wasn't paying attention. The little bastid is sharp.

Yep, I got nipped pulling mine from the sheath (and almost dropping it ) on our camping trip. She must luv me.

And continued "... if you play with someone's heart with a knife, it won't end up well."

Small wheel and 8"wheel for the two curves in the handle. This gives consistent arcs.
