Hi all,
I present my latest creation, a knife tactical / military

Blade k720 (high carbon steel), blade completely polished (satin shank). Self-made micarta handle. Stainless steel fasteners made by me in part on a lathe.

Overall Length 9.65 "(24.5 cm)
blade length 4:53 "(11.5 cm)
thickness of 0.2 "(5 mm)

I hope you like it

I love the knife.

I have heard of people making their own micarta handles, but if its not too much trouble can you tell me a little of the process that you used?
