Remington Handle Shield Inlay

[Jeffinn]

I previously did some work on this knife (installed new blades and bone handles). But I never got around to inlaying the bow tie handle shield. So today was the day.
I superglued the shield into position on the bone handle. Some guys scribe a line around the shield but I decided to try a different approach. I used a fine line oil paint marker (silver) to draw the outline. Then I removed the shield. The outline showed up fine and I was able to inlay the shield using my dremel tool and a carbide bit. The remaining paint was easily removed with some 600 grit sandpaper and then re-polishing the handle on my buffing wheel.
For my first effort in turned out pretty good;

That shield looks great Jeff.

Which bit are you using in your dremmel? I have a Foredom and I need to get a good bit for inlays.

I have a Foredom as well but it seemed easier to just set the speed on my dremel and then I could work with both hands. I have a bunch of carbide bits but I only used these two for inlaying the shield;

I used a contour vise to hold the knife steady while I was working.

I bought a fairly inexpensive set since I’m only using them for bone and acrylic. You can find them on E-bay;

Thanks Jeff.
I have a foot control for my Foredom but I don't have the vice. I need to get me one of those. I find myself holding the knife steady with one hand and cutting with the other.

Thanks for the link to the bits. I only have 2 bits right now and they are OK but not exactly what I need.
(All this was given to me so I am ahead that much. New bits are in the picture)
