Really nice job! How did you go about stabilizing the wood? Are you just soaking the whole thing or do you use heat to speed things up? Looking forward to your next set. Thanks Niles! I used Minwax wood hardener and this is to be done outside because of the vapor. I pour the hardener into a quart m...

Oh and how is working with G-10, is it hard to shape, and what do you use to shape it. I always figured it would chip ect. If you were too rough with it. The G10 is very tough! I rough cut it on a scroll saw and burned a couple of blades. I worked it down on a spindle sander. You don't have to worr...

First Mule Scales

I stabilized the wood in a wood hardener for 2 weeks and dried for several weeks. I used green G10 liners and buff finished with c...

Scales for Mule?
I cut these slabs from a Japanese Cherry tree that has been drying for 4 years and is very hard. I’m going to try to make the handles for a mule using this wood with a foliage green spacer and ¼” brass corby rivets. I started conditioning the slabs in wood hardener today. The wood has olive and red ...

You mean this old, stained thing? That would be the one! Do you use Tuf-Glide, Flitz, or just oil on your blade? I noticed a lot of folks don't like the knife because of the staining but when I was a young man (been a while) just about all our knifes would stain especially if you had an orange or t...

It really depends on the factory grind and type steel. With the diamond stones I usually start on one side until a burr (wire edge) forms on the opposite side and then do the other side until the burr is moved to the first side. As I work through the stones I count strokes on each side starting at 6...

# of Cally 3.5 super blue in sprint run
Just curious about the number of knifes in this run. I'm fairly new to Spyderco and see some sprint runs sold out (orange para 2 at CS) before production. I still see dealers with the Cally 3.5 Super Blue for sale. Thanks!
