I took the covers off my knife.... I decided I was going to try something I saw in one of kaleb's videos. I decided to clean it up and put on some new covers WITHOUT a complete disassembly.
SO.... I got my covers to the point to where I was ready to pin them onto the liners. Well, all went well for this part but that was about it.
Number 1...... I didn't glue the bone to the liners SO..... that means the back side of the bone absorbed some oil and discolored a big spot in the bone on the pile side.....
Number 2 .... ONCE AGAIN.... I cracked the hole where the rocker pin goes in on the pile side. Dang it!!!!!!
Number 3..... The bone I am fitting to the liners must be too thick to start with for the bolster thickness (maybe...???). When I finish down the bone I wanted a smooth taper down to where the bone meets the bolster. I don't think the thickness is too much over-all. I like a little bit of "heft" to a knife. Maybe not for this knife? What do y'all think?
Anyway....
Here is my poor picture of the final result on the mark side. The blades are polished to a fair-thee-well so if it looks like there is anything on them... it is a shadow.
Tips, scolding and over-all teaching is welcome.
