Then the shape is cut out and ground.

Next, a bevel or grind is put on, and holes drilled.

Then it is hardened. this is done by heating to a orange color, then quenching in oil.

Then it is polished and tempered in an oven set @ 400 degrees.

The handle scales are cut out, and drilled.

And evened up at the top.

It is epoxied and clamped.

                                             Shaped,

                                           And shaped,

And finished!
