New Knives

I have just about finished the first two knives that I made from a bandsaw blade. The handles are osage orange and purple heart. Together, these two knives don't weigh more than a few ounces.

A new tip

If you happen to find a gap between your handle slabs and the tang, you can fix this by mixing some sawdust into your glue of choice and pushing the stuff into the gap. This will form a nearly invisible filler and hide the problem.

I started to add beech wood liners to a new knife that I was starting. The problem is that wood that thickness (1/32 of an inch) gets brittle, fast.

Now, how to fix it so that I can put a 9/32 hole?
