Thats very nice work for a first goMy 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.Thats very nice work for a first go![]()
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.Thank you sir.

Do you have a slack belt attachment? Game changer for handle work.I do all my rough shaping on the grinder, but I hand sand my handles from 120 grit to 1000 grit or higher.

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

beauty.Here are 3 knives in MagnaCut that I recently bought from Clint Chisan. One is a Canadian Belt Knife design, and one is a lightweight he designed for me based on features of other knives that I liked. Benchmade Altitude Blade with a skeletized handle being a mix of Hogue Extrak and Argali Carbon knife View attachment 879316View attachment 879320View attachment 879321View attachment 879322
