Mammoth Ivory Inlay Mini Skirmish - WIP Pics #4

Here's the blade, all rubbed, sharpened and ready to go into the frame. I don't put the edge on my blades while they're in the frame. If I hit the frame with the belt, I'm screwed and all that dust goes into the pivot. The frames in the background just happened to be laying there! :-)

While the frames are in the tumbler, I finshed up the backspacer. It's been LONG time since I did one shiny but I think it will add a little bling to balance out that mammoth ivory. Again, please ignore the product placement in the background. :-)

The hardware, toasted a nice golden brown.....

Mammoth Ivory Inlay Mini Skirmish - WIP Pics #3

Lock set, now the easy and fun part starts. Melting, finishing, rubbing and making the inlay all pretty!

It's all ready to finish at this point. The pocket clip has been melted, inlay finished. All the hard work is done. The flash makes everything looks scratchy but it's very smooth.

Mammoth Ivory Inlay Mini Skirmish - WIP Pics #2

OK, it doesn't look like I've done much more to the frame.........but I have. All the holes counterbored, pivot reamed, backspacer milled to thickness, stop pin made, pivot made, pivot screw prepped and the inlay holes drilled and tapped. I also took some BEFORE pics of the pocket clip. It gets a lot of work which will be next.

When I finish the pocket clip, I'll also melt the frame and backspacer.

I'm making this one ass backwards as I usually grind the blade last. Today, I wanted to see what it would look like so I did it first. I like to finish the frame almost all the way before I set the lock. That's next as well.

If all the components are prepped correctly, the blade will always be centered when assembled. I like when they just fall into place, dead center without any problems upon the first assembley. Then I know that it will do the same thing during final assembley.

Horn/ Mammoth Ivory Inlay Mini Skirmish - WIP Pics

One with horn or mammoth ivory inlay - your choice for those are on my email list. :-)

The blade is ready to finish. I hand ground the top edge instead of doing it on my block fixture. It's much deeper and more pronounced. The main grind is also done. I'm moving on to the frame. Once that's all prepped, I'll stonewash everything at once.
