Finished a few.Elk antler is always a pain... but turned out decent this time.

Cant actually find a good picture to link to, but Will Stelter has been pimping his "Tenderfoot" knife in a few videos recently. Its got a bit of a Canadian belt knife vibe and looks like a decent knife.

My first attempt at custom handles. Far from perfect but I learned a lot. Brisa Necker 70 with G10 Scales.

Thank you sir. It’s taking a little practice getting used to the belt grinder. Ended up doing a lot of hand shaping.

I do all my rough shaping on the grinder, but I hand sand my handles from 120 grit to 1000 grit or higher. Some guys can do the entire thing on a grinder and get a great result, but even after years of knife making, I still spend hours finishing handles by hand.

Do you have a slack belt attachment? Game changer for handle work.

I use a 2x48, so the biggest piece of functionality I give up is slack belt with that size grinder. I am getting better about using what I have to the best advantage, but its little incremental steps.
