The next knife in the facebook challenge thingy I am part of will most likely get one just because I haven't done one yet :D The way the last 2 knives are made, the section in front of the spacers is done the same was a many bolsters are done.

What glue do you use on the stocks? I have an old kitchen knife I bought in 1993 that the panels are starting to fall off and i want to keep it together.

Ive been using 'blade bond' for a while and pretty happy with it. I buy it from Gameco but not sure where else you can get it from

Finally got this one finished, first knife that i have drawn from scratch. All other knifes i had traced a knife or downloaded a template and then tweaked the design. This one the only limitation was the size of a piece of scrap I had and the idea of a bird and trout or small game style knife.

Knife is made from 14c28 stainless steel and handle is stabilised spalted myrtle and resin with g10 liners and carbon fiber pins. Its not perfect but its ok, just need to make a sheath and put an edge on it.
