Title: Necker, first try with pins
Post by: bjansen on July 31, 2010, 04:39:00 PM

It worked out pretty good.  I used steel pins, phenolic handle and the blade I obtained from Skullworks (its #8 on this page)

Made a sheath for it this morning.

Outstanding!  The sheath and knife look great!

If you could re-do anything what would it be?  

After every project I always look back and see something I would do differently.

Very nice package.

Thanks.. I'f I would redo it, I probably would do a better job of cleaning the epoxy off right under scale.  I forgot to wipe it off when it was wet and I scratched the blade when cleaning it off afterwords.  I think that is about it though, it turned out as I had hoped.  

What do you think, I am always open for constructive critism.
