Hey man, I am just starting to explore the world of custom knives, and I was wondering how a stag handle to have tight tolerances and strength where it meets with the guard/ blade

For a wood/ mircarta type handle scales, you just bolt.rivet them with a epoxy backup to a full tang, correct? And to put a cross guard on a full tang knife would you just have to make the hole in the center larger to fit over the full tang?

Sorry for all the Q's, i'm new to this...

No sweat, send me an e-mail ad I'll be glad to help however I can.

[mountainhollow]

They always get my logo... where the logo goes can be worked out.

automotive wax?? on cooking knives?

[mountainhollow]

On cooking knives I'd use food-safe wax or a light coating of veg. oil on the blades (the same way you'd use WD-40 on working knives). That's what I do on mine.

[marlo916]

oh i know that. in the video i thought you were suggesting mother's caranuba wax for cooking knives. haha.

[mountainhollow]

Ah, ok. Nope, just in general.

i'll give it a try...thanks.

[guiltybystander77]

ive heard that to give it a mirror finish you should alternate the direction of the scratches (gaurd to tip,spine to edge)

[mountainhollow]

You mainly do that for a satin or hand-rubbed finish but, a mirror finish will involve buffing and polish.
