From the topare they all the same steel? what steel are they? specifically the second from the top.
any chance that the 2nd from the top will wind up with stag or horn handles? probably would look good with micarta or brass pins.From the top

That one is spoken for. Spalted maple scales with black pins and a small section of the butt steel exposed.any chance that the 2nd from the top will wind up with stag or horn handles? probably would look good with micarta or brass pins.
That’s part of it, as well as reducing overall weight. In addition the holes also act as epoxy bridging joining both sides of the handle. I use micarta liners with drilled hole patterns between the scale and the knife handle. I think it makes a very secure epoxy glue up.I notice a differing pattern of holes. Is this for balance purposes?

😊I had not really thought about that aspect of it. That is a great idea. I take it this ain't your first rodeo?
Unbelievable the stuff you put out after only doing it since 2016. I would have thought it had been a lifetime of experience!😊
I’ve been making knives since I retired in 2016. Knife making has always been an interest of mine as far back as I can remember. Now it’s a passion I can pursue almost daily. I’ve been very blessed.
Thank you! I still have a long way to go!Unbelievable the stuff you put out after only doing it since 2016. I would have thought it had been a lifetime of experience!
