Hi all,
Just finished my first knife. It was a silvermoose kit from Jantz. I opted to replace standard 1/8" pins with mosaic pins.
I used Indigo Dymonwood for the handles. I wanted something simple, (but hopefully elegant) for my first knife. I just wanted to get the basics down. You would be amazed at the stupid little things you can screw up (especially without the tools).
Since I don't have a grinder, I ended up sanding the handle down with a palm sander, then finished it by hand with 1000 grit. Polished with Meguires car wax.
My next knife (just ordered the steel today) will be an O1 hunter (been planning it for a month or so, as soon as I got the kit in).
Thoughts?
