Hi everyone,

 

Just would like to show you my new grips from DW 715-2

Carved from solid piece of beautiful Amboyna burl, which I really like to use in knife handles.

Now it fits like a glove wink

Those look really nice.  And comfortable.

 

How much time do you have invested in them?

Nice work!  That certainly is a nice looking piece of wood (and steel)!

That grip is amazing and that piece of wood is stunning.  I wish I had the talent for doing that kind of thing.

Two evenings, using mostly Dremel with sanding sleeve, manual sanding, polishing.

After that was test on the range shooting, adjusting, sanding againg and refinishing.

Wisdom is merely the realization of how little one knows, therefore I am wise.

Sorry, was away for a week...

It is simple:screwy

I would say the cost of just highest grade materials ( including damascus blade, wood block and bronze or nickel-silver) will be around $140-160, plus my work. For the knife like this one it is around 25-30 hours to finish. Say, at the lowest rate like $10/hour, and you have a number, lower I would not go.goodluck
