    Dope AF results, @WJBlades! Now it needs an equally dope sheath/scabbard to complete the package!

    Nice job, it looks great! Wondering if you had any issues with the aluminum and getting hot. I love using copper as spacers between handle pieces but it conducts heat so well that when you're grinding it can destroy the epoxy bond. My last build (you can see on my channel if interested), I had a hell of a time with that handle and ended up hand-filing the copper so it wouldn't get too hot. Aluminum I would imagine would have a similar problem. Keep up the content!

      What I didn't show in the video was that during the heavy grinding of the aluminum, I was putting it in water in between. (Being careful not to dunk the wood.) I work kind of slow in general and keep my fingers on the workpiece.

      @@TyrellKnifeworks That is an amazing offer. I vowed a long time ago to never do a knife build unless I personally made the Damascus. So many fakers out there taking credit for the art of others. Hmmm... your tempting me.
