Thanks for the comments. I was real worried about gaps so I fitted everything together a hundred times before actually epoxiing it together.

Nice Gifts!

You're on a roll now. Can we expect 4 knives by next Christmas? I might want to get on your list!

Steve

HA 4 by next Christmas?! It took me a year to get these two done! Really I think I'll be getting several done a month now. I work on a golf course and during the summer I was working way to many hours and now I've gone to winter hours so it frees up a whole lot of my time. I've got 3 blades already that need to be heat treated, and I think I picked up a few things to make them go a whole lot faster to. Thanks for the compliments and if you get on the list that means I'll have to start two weeks ago.......better get to work.
