Thanks. Have to drill them at high speed and slowly to avoid chip outs. Helps to coat both sides with epoxy before drilling. Sanding them isn't a big problem. Have to watch the edges wanting to chip also. I always use liners to help with the bonding to the knife handle. Don't drop them! LOL!

Those are beautiful. I think the red liners really set off the scales nicely.

Clarence,

You sure make some beautiful knives! I enjoy the ones I got from you. Mammoth tooth and Damascus just seem to go together, don't they? That piece of Mammoth tooth is very striking.
