Well, the Loveless look alike blade project didn't go as expected. I used a piece of bronze I had left over from making my boat and it really wasn't quite large enough. I didn't do a good job of making the locking notch a tight fit and I should have put two pins in the bolster rather than one. And because the bronze wasn't big enough I ended up grinding up into the tang. Bottom line...…….I should have thought it through instead of rushing ahead. Anyway here is the blade as profiled and then the blade with the scales attached. Because I ground into the tang the center pin is not aesthetically pleasing to the eye ( not centered .
