The June Topic of the Month is handle construction.
Your techniques for shaping a handle. How do you fit and fasten them to the blade's tang. Tools, adhesives and fasteners that you use for handle construction.
Steve:
Knife Handle Construction is an excellent topic for June. You gave an outstanding presentation on building a frame handle during your lecture on "Handles and Guards" at the last ABS Heartland Bladesmithing Symposium in Meridan, Kansas. I captured the presentation on HD video for our members and posted it on the American Bladesmith Society YouTube Channel. It can be viewed by clicking below:
