Took me a few hours. But, I got it all put together.Today I get to put together this puzzle.
Front
Back
Knife fits tight.
I got a similar one almost ready for handles. This is my first tapered tang. 2 7/8 cutting edge.
taper goes all the way up to the plunges
Stone spacer coming together. 1st one of those, too.
The green spacer is vulcanized paper I might have ruined by using water. If I can get everything close I hope to switch them to white, filework the edge of the stone and fill it in with white epoxy- but I might be still dreaming.
My kids got together and bought me a diamond belt for my grinder as a BD gift. Speeds things up a little for a hobbyist without proper lapidary equipment.

It’s From a banksia nut pod. Stabilized. It works nicely with tools and sandpaper.
Thank you.

I just went to a friend' house and used his belt surface grinder. I did 7 fillet blades,two dumplins, a skinner and a caper n A2 and two drop points hidden tangs in A2. I did 7 cowboy knives and 4 clip point hidden tangs in 154cm. That should keep me busy for a while.

After many months of no shop time I made it out today and did some work on this Bocote chef knife that's been sitting on the bench. Hopefully I will have more shop time going forward.
