New from the workbench

[Nektarios]

Just finished these two bush blades today.
4mm 01 steel the total length is 222mm, and 30mm at the widest point.
Hardened and tempered 58/59Rc.
One with a full flat grind and the other with a scandi grind.

Hope you like them and thanks for looking.

I made the large holes to remove weight, and for the glue to bond better.

Oh.... Are the holes filled in wiv Silicon or such before you put the scales on? (Just a thought)...

 

[Nektarios]

If you read this tutorial then you will understand how it works.

Cheers... It is the large holes I was referring to.... If there was a crack or gap in-between the scales and the tang then stuff could ingress..

Filling the gap up wiv Silicon would stop this....

Yes i know that you are referring the large holes, and i can tell you that when I’m gluing the scales I’m filling the holes with epoxy and the glue will in most cases fill the gap/gaps up.
