Handles are fitted and ready for finish

After I spent some time fitting the handles I decided to change to a different fastener. The ones I show are pretty nice and from a very limited stash.

roughed out with the other bolts

The knives are really coming together, the handle material is laying down nice and flat to the steel. The red liners are a standard for desert iron wood this nice.

New bigger, badder and better bolts

Quick shot with the flash on to grab a look at the "Hamon" hiding in the blades!!

We should be in good shape for a finish on the knives, then I will start the other 2 which will feature a more modern look?
