Members MRknives Posted January 17, 2023 Members Report Posted January 17, 2023 (edited) Received the pics back this week of one I had a fun time making (both knife and sheath) combo and using a little darker dye around the edge of some drum dyed leather for the sheath. I probably should have run it along the top edge as well. Beginning two others with slight variations now. Edited January 17, 2023 by MRknives Quote

How is that striking yellow handle made? Thank you all for the kind words. The handle material is a metallic octagon cast in yellow resin likely a 2 part resin that’s most likely an alumilite product. I purchased the the resin block to then work from. Have played with Alumilite in the past hence the educated guess. 4 hours ago, Gezzer said: VERY VERY Nicely done !! May I ask what the handle spacer is made of ? Thank you. The brown spacer portion is the side of a piece of vintage micarta. Guessing Westinghouse but hard to tell Quote
