Pretty dang impressive. I'm looking forward to the finished product.

That is impressive for a first.
I am definitly going to do that to at least one of the blanks I have.

I made a new firesteel up and started on the knife scales...The firesteel handle is a .410 shell cut down, I removed the primer and used a Carter Pin to make for a lanyard (Dad used to make us keychains this way) I used JB weld to hold the firesteel in. The knife scales are Maple...I stained them green as a test...Not sure if they'll stay green or not! I am really liking the firesteel handle!

Cool idea. Looking good.
All I had was .38 and .270 brass. I'd have rather used a plated brass rifle or pistol brass but this is what fit. I'd think a 44 or 45 pistol round would work really well! This will do for now!

Great progress! I like the .410 handle for the firesteel and I really can't wait to see this knife all done.
That is a great idea on the firesteel handle, the green scales (if they stay green) after shaping will look good.

I like the fire steel handle idea.
I like that firesteel as well. It's pretty high on the cool scale.

It is a flat grind! That's a .38 brass cutdown for a lanyard liner! I plan on keeping the handle rather large but it is'nt finished yet...

Curious about trying liners and filling the file work with colored epoxy...What do you think?

Looks great. I like everything about it. Well done.
What do you think about .030" brass liners and filling the filework with colored epoxy?

I have not tried either yet, so can't really offer any advice.
Thanks anyway! I plan to rough the brass up to add some tooth for the epoxy to grab and epoxy the liner on while filing the filework.. after that it is textbook I hope!
