Man I really love the blade profile of this knife! The heft at the tip and the slight recurve looks awesome. May have to draw something up and give it a shot.
After enough time, hand sanding is just sort of part of the job, I once had a job a long time ago doing 100's of feet a week of hand sanding picture frame moldings, prepping the timber, staining and varnishing it, cutting it back, polishing etc- so on a comparative scale, knife sanding really isn't that bad!
What if you used the scotch brite belt on the blade before you put the scales on so there is a bit less heavy scratches to refine ? Looks great Erick !
Looks great, ive got a good question for ya, what would you use to clean/remove buffing compound reside on wood scales that have natural pitting like unstabilized oak scales?
Wouldn't scotch-brite belts cut down on some of the hand sanding? In so much as eliminating some of the 2x72 scratches at least. Hand sanding is of course unavoidable, and my favorite part.
It would but the softness of the belt would flex around the steel and sand the scales faster than the steel, which would leave you with just as much hand sanding or more.
@@theriversexperience9383 I see, but I was thinking about putting in the work with Scotch Brite or cork belts before attaching the scales. Of course you have to trim your scales well or put in time with finer grit belts instead of gluing two rectangles to the handle and hogging away with a 60 grit. I dunno, different strokes etc..
Definitely my favorite profile of yours…this is another one I’d like to see a slightly smaller EDC version of. Beautiful!
That's a great looking knife. Can't wait to see it in action!

Hey Eric, Great profile! Where can you get the rubber sanding pad? Thanks for sharing !!
Cut the guy who gave a thumbs down. 😂

You will end up rounding the spine over a bit and that will leave a gap between the tang and the scales. You want to leave the edges nice and sharp.
@@theriversexperience9383 Gotcha thanks for clarifying

Take a buffing wheel with no compound to the scales. They also sale denim contact wheels that are good at doing what you are wanting done.
@@theriversexperience9383 well its not something I hope to encounter to often lol but its the case here lol thanks for the info
