Hey guys,
I recently picked up a "blank" blade from Spyderco (Their MULE Team project, check it out if you haven't heard of it). Blade picture attached.
The knife comes sharpened and has holes drilled in the handle, but no scales or sheath are included.
So first thing first, I need to make some scales. If this goes well and i enjoy it, I would love to continue doing it.
I am leaning towards G10 for this first one and I really like the Ghost Jade color.
What tools do i need or are worth investing in?
I have a dremel and some other basic tools, but for things like grinding/buffing I have nothing.
Also, i have some experience with pins/rivets but don't own any tools specifically associated with them and have mostly worked with brass.
Are they an ok fastener type for a beginner or should I be looking at something else?
Basically any tips/recommendations/etc that can be provided are appreciated.
I am up for the challenge but want to make sure I start off on a good foundation.
Thanks!
