Just got this one going over the weekend. Roughed with angle grinder then hand filed. First time using micarta for scales ... that stuff is tough. I don’t have a band saw but it’s gonna turn out ok I think. 1080B steel heated to non magnetic and quenched in canola ... 2 x 2 hr cycles at as close to 400-450 as my toaster oven will get meDF8FCDF1-E790-4F7B-A982-964CA9BB775B.jpeg3CAF03A0-C4CD-407F-9724-69B379872E0C.jpeg
 
Nice work - those bevels look great for being done with an angle grinder and file! Looking forward to seeing the finished knife.

Had some scrap pre-stained leather ... so I banged out a basic sheath today ... still need to mold and polish but it keeps the blade safe ... it does have a belt loop but only took one picture
