Thanks! This is just my first go as making handles for a knife. Unless you had an M16 and wanted to work something out, I really didn't have plans on making more

What tools you used?

Bought these on Amazon ( https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07F8RWFLQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 )
Used a table saw to thin them up to 3.5mm. Then a bandsaw to get a rough outline of the knife, used a dremel to get the shape right, then lots of sandpaper down to 400grit to smooth it out. Drill some stepped holes and coat it in WD-40.

Nice work! I was also planning on buying some slabs and making scales for my shaman. Congrats.

How did you drill the step holes?

Just two different drill bits and a small blade to clean out around the outer edge where the larger bit couldn't clean out.
