You can get unhardened blanks that you can shape with hand tools. Look it up on YouTube it's quite interesting. That will be a next project after these.I love knives. Seems like making one would be pretty hard, no?
Yeah that's a cool idea. I just ordered african black wood though. Though it looked badass. Also got steel pins to put through the handle. Trying to offset the brass hand guard. Hopefully I can a close to finished product next week.For the larger one, I imagine my buddies Colt 45 cherry wood grips on there. You know the grips with the gold Colt medallion? It would look nice if you put Colt grips on there and shaped them to fit your knife. No matter what you choose im sure it will be nice when it's completed.

Pretty cool kronik. Please do post the finished project.
You think his name is vickers ? That guy is kind of a big dealOne of my good friends who got me into firearms builds his own AR15 rifles. He has even built several nice looking Colt 45 hand guns. He went to some school to learn with a well know gun guy. I think the guy's name is Larry Vickers if I remember correctly. He taught him how to completely build a gun from parts. The finished product is amazing. I don't have to ability to do such things but it would be cool.

No big deal you didn't know but the guy was delta force and is pretty much a bad ass. I think it's cool that your friend was able to take some classes from the man and than pass knowledge off to you.Ya sorry bro, I'm not up to speed on who's a big deal in the gun community. I was just going by what a friend said.
