I ground the blade without the use of any jigs on a three inch wheel. I made the handle and pomel on a small table laith that i got from harbour frieght for around 400.00. The knife isn't finished yet, I still need to heat treat the blade and make the sheath. I also have to finish cutting the lines in the handle with a file, I had to do some with the laith and since the handle is oval and not completely round I ground the handle to shape, and now more file work. I hope ya'll like it.

Very good lathe work there. I have the same lathe, and it is very hard to get precision work on it. Much easier on a bigger beefier machine.
