Title: Step-By-Step (part2): Integral Hilt Hunter
Post by: Idahomike251 on June 22, 2011, 11:32:00 PM
Blade forming portion was one of the most critical part of the project. If I mess-up this portion of the project, I'd have to throw away $40 worth of raw tool steel.
Now I start on handle by establishing the rear part of the hilt as well as the tapered tang.

Hilt portion is rough finished
