For the beveling and rounding of the pins, i chuck the pins into a small cordless drill and use that to spin the pins opposite the direction of the belt. A bit faster and sometimes you end up with a cleaner and more even rounding. Also, it eliminates the belt rash when ya get too close 😅😅😂😂

One of the best looking drop point hunters I've ever seen. It's shaped almost identically to the one I have and it's my favorite hunting knife yet. Of course yours is quite a bit better made. I'd some day like to have me a custom one like this built for me. Excellent work sir.
