Made the handles to this under the cruel tutelage of Master Chief Mike Billman of Grindstone Cutlery in Fort Wayne In.
The handles are lexan with a blue wood ply to give it texture. The pins are stainless steel and there rest is a lot of TLC with 240, 400, 600 sandpaper passes and finished with Flitz metal polish on a paper towel.
The sheath is all Mike's work - all I did was stand there and watch.
