its east dude, file (as rough as you like) to shape, then sand rough down through the grit, i used 400 to finish i think, and then started on the polishing compound, worked really well, just make sure all the scratches are out before you start to polish.....

Loving your work Chris, I really like that wrap stitching

 

[Johnnyboy1971]

Done some measuring for the sheath mate and it looks like its not quite wide enough. Might be tempted into some orange kydex yet.

thanks Rich, messed it up a bit due to me over doing it and broke the cordage.....OOOOP'S......

its not tied off but just pulled through the same hole to lock it off, this should work ok, if not i will re do it with fresh cord doing the same but glue it into place...

the hardest bit was having the shape to follow, so a very big THANK YOU to Rich... (is that blade doing ok...)

thanks gents...
