I'm on my way to Bentonville, Arkansas for the @naturalstateknifeshow_ but I still wanted to share this for fordiite Friday. This is one of the final pieces I cut off the first chunk of fordite I ever worked with, some really bright stuff from @hawksnestcustoms from a few years back. I'm looking forward to seeing this kiridashi all finished up. @filthy.edc #wip #customknife #forditescales #everydaycarry #everydaycarrygear #edc #handlescales #rarematerial https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck1Y3govNPU/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Clear coat of varnish to speculate the eventual colours of the handle scales. In order : mango wood, Jacaranda wood and last macadamia(?) wood. #wood #handle #knifemaking #handlescale #scales #tree #sustainable #swiftstruckblades #stabilizedwood #local #handmade https://www.instagram.com/p/CHC9V0sjHEf/?igshid=d5n25r8r6ns

A sword to make @wearepaladin jealous.

I’d use it though. Primarily against unholy and evil foes. c:

Here is a new species for me that I found particularly interesting. I grabbed this piece of yarran from @jasoncwilliams1978 at #bladeshowtexas and so far I'm impressed with it. It is very similar to ringed gidgee but slightly denser, harder, and smoother. #banzelcroftcustoms #exoticwood #handlematerial #handlescales #knifemaker https://www.instagram.com/p/CdHYNOzAUlS/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Doing a little cleaning and organizing while I wait on some parts and I came across this box of acrylic, I may have to do something with this for @blade_show Texas. Which one is your favorite? #banzelcroftcustoms #handlescales #acrylicblanks https://www.instagram.com/p/Ca3QQm9gbq1/?utm_medium=tumblr

I finally got these tiny scales sanded and buffed, like all the other steps holding them still proved to be a challenge but I finally managed to make it work. @stiboxsteve #banzelcroftcustoms #handlescales #yellowcedarburl #burlwood #exoticwood #knifescales https://www.instagram.com/banzelcroftcustoms/p/CZKxnNOPVnk/?utm_medium=tumblr

Holding these tiny scales still to mill them flat also turned out to be harder than expected but I finally got them sized and cleaned up. Now it's time for attachment @stiboxsteve #banzelcroftcustoms #knifemaker #yellowcedarburl #handlescales #exoticburlwood #burlwood https://www.instagram.com/p/CY-d0I9sHNl/?utm_medium=tumblr

[banzelcroftcustoms]

It took a bit more toying with the clamps than expected but I finally got the liners situated where I wanted them on these tiny scales. This is a new project I've been working on and I'm excited to get it finished up @stiboxsteve #banzelcroftcustoms #handlescales #yellowcedarburl #stabilizedwood #stabilizedburl #exoticburlwood #exoticwood https://www.instagram.com/p/CY5NBZssynM/?utm_medium=tumblr
