Re: DIY Knife
Pratik, why don't you try blacking the knife? A forced patina with warm vinegar should darken the blade enough to look more...... uhhh..... can I say "tactical"??? Or deadly, as Lanceman says. Contact Moin for details.
Cheers!

4. Apply the mustard paste as per your required design using a toothpick....
5. Leave the mustard paste appllied blade for a cuple of hours to dry off completely....
6. Wash off the dried mustard paste from the blade....
7. Apply a thin coat of coconut oil to the knife blade to bring out the patina...

Re: DIY Knife
Pratik, try using Araldite as a resin for making micarta, it should work.

Re: DIY Knife
Hi Pratik!
> Awesome work
> A small suggestion - When the surfaces (top & bottom) are still wet - try inducing a checkered pattern on them for a better grip....
> You can do this by pressing a "Wire Mesh" on the wet surfaces & when fully dry, sand it gently to even out any burrs.
> Great going!!!!
