I took the handle down to 400grit, shined up the pins, and touched up the acid etch.
For size, next to the Yarborough.
On to the sheath.
Scored some Kydex. Took inspiration from Aaron's sheathes and off to the races.
Using a Lansky sharpening system, I gave it the best edge I've ever given a knife.

And there you go.
It was a lot more fun than I anticipated...might turn into a little side gig!

By hand, this thing took about 20hrs, start to finish.
