Project Information

Was using my old Smith and Wesson folding pocket knife when I noticed how beat-up the plastic handles were. Perfect new project! So I searched through my scrap wood for something thin enough yet still large enough to make both sides :) I found a large enough scrap of Circassian (sp?) walnut. From there it was off to the scroll saw to cut the overall shape, drill the screw holes and the recessed hole for the blade's pivot. After all that a lot of hand sanding and some spray clear coat and I was set. This was one of those "let's see if I can do it" projects.
Enjoy :)

I kinda cheated on contouring the wood…I used my dremel and a sanding drum. :) then finish sanded it with 220 and 325 grit paper.

Good looking knife handles. They are way better than the plastic ones. You certainly did it. Great job!
