I just got in from working on my scandi and I figured I would post a couple handles I finished. The first pic is just after I clamped the scales on. The scales are red linen micarta with black and white liners. These next few pics are of the knife done for now. I'm not sure if I am happy with the shape of the handle. It feels good in my hand but looks blocky if that's even a word. The other knife in the pics is actually my first. It is canvas micarta with red liners. Both of the knives are 440C and are bought finished blades. Sorry aout the pics. They are horrible.
Thanks Rob. I picked up the pieces a while back at on the edge in ingersoll and finished it in a couple days after work. From then I knew I was hooked. So I placed an order a about a month ago to satisfy my cravings. I should have enough stuff now for a while.
They both look really good, Icho-. I know what you mean about the red one being "blocky". I think some of it comes from the colour. The red is so strong against the steel that it can overwhelm. I'd guess if you'd added a bolster, it would help that a lot.
Thanks Myth. I was considering adding bolsters but the blade didn't come pre drilled for them and I didn't feel like trying to drill hardened steel.
