The handle work looks great! What did you do to the blade to get that finish, reheat?
---- PS - Here's the kit he built it from. Now you can see how much work was done to get to his finish point. ![]() ![]() Don Robinson did some great instructions on the build out.

Alex, it's surely nice to see you're still alive! Are you still under a hundred years old?

How do you form the dome on the larger pin bottom center of the knife? What keeps that pin from walking out if you don't have a head of some sort on it?

Tap them to swell them inside the material. That process also anchors them, and helps to hold the material down. You can then use a head-spinner to smooth off the leading edge of the pin.
