Hey guys, Just thought I'd post up my second knife. What do you think?

Came across a little free time and decided to start my second. I got the blade from Texas Knifemaking, and decided to go with black micarta for a sort of "tactical hunter". I got one scale epoxied on so far and I did some shaping so I figured I would share what I have so far.

Hey guys, I'm starting my second knife. Its a drop point with micarta scales. I did a little pre-shaping and then glued and clamped up one side. The package says 60 minute gel time and 24-36hr full cure at 77F. Do I have to wait the full 24-36hr before I start doing more sanding? On a side...

I was browsing my regular firearms forum and found a link to knifekits.com. We have a couple of knife makers over there so I took a look. Seems like a hobby I could really get into (I'm a tinker-er by nature). I'm thinking for my first knife I want to do a full tang blade without bolsters and...
