If we bring a suitable blade do we get a hands on with the turks head? Is this the last or first bit of handle work that should be done or is it somewhere in-between?

I was wondering the same thing. I have a blade that would be a perfect canidate. Just didn't know if I should go ahead and do the handle wrap.
Hey Cap, Great minds think alike.

The Turk's Head knots usually get tied on over top of the handle wrap, although, sometimes they get tied to the side of the wrap. Anyway, you should have the wrap done prior to tying the Turk's Head.
You'll be able to get your knot going whether you've got the handle wrapped or not. __________________ Barry Jones Knives
