Very nice job! two questions: What did you use to attach the dark handle material to the wood? What kind of saw is the one you used to cut out the handle?

[nickdoerden]

@messrsinferno Thanks for your comments. I use epoxy to attach them. It needs 24 hours to full cure. It’s the same epoxy that I use to attach the handle scales on the blade. The electric saw that I use called Scroll Saw. Google it for images.

Did you put some sort of protector onto the blade so that it won't rust? What kind of sand paper would you recommend (for the handle) for someone who is going to be doing all that by hand? How did you make your knife get a shine in the end (what sort of sand paper)? Srry for the questions but im looking to make my 1st knife and am looking for info.

@xXxBToWnxXx No protector put it on the blade. Must cleaned it after any use and lubricate. For the handle up 400+ grid sand paper will give a nice finish. For the shine of the blade after the finishing with 600 grid sand paper I use the felt wheel. I just send you a message that help you to start knifemaking. Check it!
