just another thought guys your gonna strugle to find pins that correspond exactly to drill bits , ebay sellers are pretty good at measuring the diamiter of pins and drill for you before you buy . i find steel drill bits to be most accurate (i think because they need to be) for example i bought some "advertised 2mm brass the other week , i asked te seller and they where actualy 2.06mm thick . then i thought ok drills are usualy over sized so went for a steel 2mm drill from B&Qand it came in at 1.96mm sounds nothing but the pins would not fit . so i had to cut them 1/3 to long put them in t -

just a tip from when i used to do all mine by hand , you want a single cut file , i used drapers garden files (thats what they call them) old fashioned hard ware stores sell them . because its sigle cut there is only one set of grooves on it , you can remover the metal much faster and more accuratly . and once the angles look right you can plain the metal with them , ok so you have removed the metal and got a basic beval , like this . now you can clamp it good and tight and plain the metal , to get it flat and clean . like this when its like that clean and flat , id start with sand -
thats a good point that and id want stainless if i was working in salt water !! micarta handles not polished for textured grip in wet and mucky hands . maybe even i hi viz one that floats my dad. use to sail yahcts all over the world and they had some really well thought out knives , hi viz orange . floating , stainless etc . as this could be a life saver id look to marine suppliers and see whats on offer from them it might end up being the best money you ever spend , i think a custom is probably not what your looking for in this situation .. bloody hell i feel paniced for you now mate . ge

yeah ebay is the one . you will need to split it in half and grind it flat so you can fit it either side of the tang . jigged camel bone looks just like antler and its died on the out side with a pattern to look like stag , but they are flat scales so you can fit them easy !! -
