Jim P 0 Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Your plunge cuts look good, I like the radius behind the ricasso looks like it will be comfortable. How far up will you go with the scales? Link to post Share on other sites

How far up will you go with the scales? hi, the plunge just looks on the photos good. there are some deep scratches from the first belt in there. but hey, its a user. i finished the handle yesterday. im pretty happy about the simple shape that feels good in my hand. cheers, geko Link to post Share on other sites
