Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
They made a knifeless SAK in yellow a few years ago. Working on the principle that you should be carrying a decent folder anyway, I was much moved to buy one. Didn't but still rather wish I had.
How did you make the groove for the tang and center the pin buddy?...my next project may be a wooden handle on an old hidden tang blade
Cold Steel Trailmaster rehandled in Horse Chestnut Burl, Buffalo horn, brass and a mosaic pin.
That looks easier than trying to drill or burn into one solid block...thanks
Mainly Moras.... just a few of the ones I have played with 
Lovely, did you make the sheaths yourself?Mainly Moras.... just a few of the ones I have played with

Looks like the one I asked for someone to do after I was contacted by another Scout Leader
Some lovely work here - thanks to all for sharing. I now feel inspired to re-handle a broken Mora myself: just need the workshop to re-open after lockdown as I don't have the necessary tools at home.
Just remember these two things:
1. It's only a piece of steel.
2. You don't need a million dollar shop to do this.
I admit that I bought a big 6-speed grinder to save myself some time with the used farrier's knives. Two years ago? I have not broken the seal on the packing box. Sure as hell seemed to be a good idea at the time.

Hi, been thinking of doing this myself, how do you go about reprofiling an edge? Ideally I want to reprofile a few of my scandi grind knives so that they are consistent along the whole bkade length.
I got a guided sharpener, just a cheap chinese copy of the Edge Pro but it makes the angle consistent. I went for manual over electric because I was scared of grinding away too much metal but it is a bit slow going, especially on certain steels.
Here's my Condor Mayflower I did. The original angle was 20° or maybe 22° which barely bit into anything so I took it down to 15° each side and it's a very handy tool now.
