SASSY PINK LUUNCHBOX KNIFE MAKER
Today I got some knives back from Peter's heat treat.
I had Brad Sandblast one of them.
Well I went to fit up the scales and get everything ready to glue them on.
Then I realized that after the scales are on and I start shaping them I will end up sanding on the spine. So in order for me to get a good fit with the scales I am going to ruin the sandblast finish.
Is there a way to protect the metal and still get a good fit so you cannot feel the transition from metal to wood on the spine?
I think next time I better have the scales ready before I send it out.
