Then… inquiring mines would like to know - as DeMo likes to say - when does the dreaded ping happen? On the first up and down or third???? (;>}

52100 steel vintage micarta.

Vintage Westinghouse micarta scales with red and white micarta liners and pins.

Thanks for sharing. Mistakes are learning opportunities. I have a PHD in Mistakes from Learn as You Go University.

I managed to get this far without major mistakes. I’ll try to get the bolsters on tomorrow and some nice handle material glued up on the liners.

52100 steel. Leopard wood.

Slip joint and fixed blade on the bench today.

I believe you can use super glue or the equivalent on the pith rather than epoxy.

Thank you. It’s stabilized buckeye burl.

Don’t stop now! Great WIP. I hope you will do more. What size pins do you use. Also have you always had a zero dial indicator? Have you done one without it? Thanks again for an informative post.

If only they could talk!❤️

Thanks Dennis.

Well, I’m calling this one done. I used the original bolsters. Unfortunately I damaged them taking the knife apart. But this is not a new build so I’m. Good with the wear and tear on the old parts. Not a perfect zero step sequence but close.

Mostly luck ;> }. Thank you. I may etch the blade. Haven’t decided yet.

Thanks. It is nice.
