Lots of work with that little belt sander and grinder, reminds me of when I first started making knives. Loooking Good, keep it up bro.

Thank you for posting this. I'm inspired to experiment with this idea and one thing I will try is to use layers of silk. Being thinner than denim I expect I'll have to use more layers but I suspect a couple of scarves or a shirt from Good Will will provide enough material.

Great video, thanks. Do you apply any sort varnish or oil once the micarta is buffed? I'm having trouble getting the colors to really pop on mine.

@jonindenver All I do is sand with finer and finer grits, finishing with a worn out 600 (400 would probably work as well) and then buff with a clean wheel and white buffing compound.

Where'd you get that knife blank from because that is exactly what I've been looking for!

@guardians38 Something I picked up at a gun show many years ago. Since I started making knives I don't use blanks anymore. There are quite a few knife making supply places on the web that sell knife blanks.
