Nice looking Poking device  ;) do go on
Looking awesome vod!!! Can't wait to see the results. :)

Got a little bit more done!

I haz handles! ;D
Shot of the plywood handle after shaping with the Dremel tool and then a decent once over by hand with 150 grit sandpaper:


And the first coat of stain:


I still need to beat them up a bit more and put a couple more coats of stain as well as burning something in Mando'a into the handle, just have to decide what it's going to be!  ???

OK, I got a couple updates on my besk'ad...

First off I cut out the lanyard loop in the pommel and added the holes to the blade from the original concept:


I also added the wood burning to one side of the handle:


Then promptly realized I had misspelled "Ijaat" as "Ijat"...  after I had burned it  ???


The inscription reads "Ijaat o'r kyr'am" or "Honor in Death"

I have also done 2 coats of auto primer (with wet sanding in-between) and 2 coats of aluminum base coat:


The blade will be painted flat black with some decorative designs to expose the silver base on the side of the blade as well as the blade edges ;D
Then It will get assembled with chicago screws and weathered as a single piece ???

Got the matte black layer painted and some more natural light weathering like you would see on an actual hard anodized blade:
Overall:


Detail of Edge and "Blood groove/Holes"


This was done using 600 grit sandpaper after a single coat of flat black dried with my heat gun... ...Took all of 10 minutes from start to finish ;)

Thanks Niabi!

I don't believe I forgot to post updates on this sucker! ???
Well... here goes...
Here is the handles mounted to the blade using 1" Chicago screws:


Well with the custom shape of the handles there was a wee bit of a gap at the front of the grip :rolleyes:


So I took a scrap of the glued PVC that had been cut off and shaped it to fill the gap:


And after some silver paint, glue and weathering... Voila!  ;D


And some more shots after the whole thing was weathered and had about 5 coats of matte clear:


Close up of the Mando'a inscription:


And a bit of a "happy accident" :laugh: The last layer of clear bubbled a bit in this area but left a cool "pitted" look to the finish!  ;D


Now I just need to make a sheath that will be mounted to one of my greaves!

Yep, one step close to having all the parts for sniper brigade!! 8)

Nice save on that gap in the handle.  As a knife maker I was going to suggest a fix, but as I kept scrolling down, I saw that you did exactly what I was going to suggest.  :laugh:  Good looking piece of work.
