Knifemakers Build-Off 2011 (Day 2)

This build is long finished but here is the continuation of the work-in-progress:

Day 2: I spotted all the holes; drilled, tapped, and reamed the liners. Also pantographed the liners and added the serrations. Then I flattened the bolsters and ivory on my disc grinder. Once the ivory is flat I stabilized it.













Then I had to wait for the ivory to dry....so I worked on the hardware (pivot pins, stop pins, screws, etc...)

Here is a video of the work on the pantograph:



I also heat-treated and tempered the blade.
