KNIFE MAKER
Decided to do another stacked leather handle build. This is Alabama damascus with nickel, Micarta and leather. Getting these handles glued up is a epoxy mess! It's a through tang build with the tang threaded on the end. As it sits I have a large washer with a nut compressing the leather. I actually wet the leather washers and compressed them in a clamp-up and let them dry prior to assembling them on the tang.
Here is the sketch and what will be the final knife shape. Hopefully I can get the handle shaped and start the finish tomorrow.
