Scouser’s Bushcraft Knife Project Phase 4

Used a Dremel to ‘scuff’ up both the scales and liners for better epoxy adhesion



Drilled through both using the knife blank as a guide




Here's where I need some advice from the knife making gurus…..i know I have to finish the scales where the knife ends and the tang starts, shall I copy this example as its my 1st go….?

Yup that looks good.

Use the pin holes to connect the scales together, this keeps the scales even, just work like it's one piece of material.

Rough cut the radius first test fitting for looks. Once you are happy with the profile of the front scribe a line on the top of the scale both sides to set your chamfer. Shape your chamfer and then finish sand the ends. It's super hard to sand the scale end without scratching the blade so completely finish it before glueing the scale.
