I am attempting to make a blank for a retired Sargent Major. My idea was to segment leather to resemble a K-Bar knife handle. This is my first attempt. I colored the turned blank with a brown Sharpie, and enhanced the groves with black paint. I finished the blank with 10 coats of thin CA.
I am not completely satisfied with the results. The blank is for a Gatsby, and I am thinking I need a two barrel kit for this to represent the handle of the knife. I am unsure of a kit finish also. I originally was thinking gun metal, but am now leaning to a black of some sort.
Any ideas for the old chief from the corps?
