Thanks Mr. Harsey I am in the process of making a nice full tang field knife similar in shape but definitely not quality. I think I just had a nice light bulb go off seeing your shaping of the canvas micarta, I found some of it in black for not too many bucks and like the look allot.

I have noticed that there are few of warnings for the reason of the fiberglass and canvas in the material that you use a respirator type device while working. Can you give us some tips on micarta scales besides don't inhale.... Is it harder or softer than a normal hard wood type scale? Is drilling and shaping same also? My scales will be double screw type pined and hour epoxy applied. As of now I just bought a new shinny file set and working on my grind and ricasso angle. If I get a chance I will post some production pictures...
