Decided to use Boa micarta for the scales on the hunter. Also used yellow micarta spacers for accent. Bronze pins and lanyard tube. Got the handle rough sanded to 120 grit. The epoxy is curing as I typed this note.

Nice. Where do you order the Boa (or python) Micarta?

Thanks. I believe I got this sheet from Knifemakers USA. I ordered 3/8 but if I do it again I'll go with 1/4" or 3/16

That is, without question, my favorite knife that you’ve made so far. Great job.

Wow nice work opaul ! One thing you could do and this is not ment as criticism at all but I see it a lot ,after your done with your handle work go back and chamfer the inside of the thong tube.You would be surprised at what a difference in appearance it makes and such a simple detail will set it obove a knife with the tube ground flush . It's pleasing to the eye and makes a smooth transition for your thong to slide through without a 90 deg edge to catch on.
