In this video, I finish up one of the Ontario Knife Company knives with a reproduction of the original handle scales in Hickory.

The knife steel had all the rust removed prior to now and can be seen in my last video. I used the old handle scales as a template and tried to carefully drill the holes using them. In hindsight I thin kI can do this differently so the holes are straight and more consistent with the knife blade.

Although I almost gave up and started over, I managed to figure out how to use what I made and ended up with a great looking knife handle!
