So, done at last.l..not much to say except yee-haaa, ...very happy with the result...exactly what I wanted, an odd amalgamation of tibetan/nepalese knife and a 9th c. norse scramseax.
So, all assembly done. All that is left to do is patina the silver, fit and glue in the wooden cores, and affix the two end caps. After all this time and work, I must admit I am pretty excited...can't rush at this point and make some stupid mistake!
