Well, I practiced my D-gard technique tonight... and am ready to work one onto the DFLE.. but man is this ting hardened. I am having a heck of a time pushing a drill through her to make the upper talon hole. (drill press, titanium bits, no luck yet)... But have some nice 550 cord on the way...
also, my Christmas present to myself, a leather strop for my 1x30 (I lost my other one?)... so hopefully in a few days, she will be drilled, braded, painted, and stropped...
Now, to drop RainWalker a line and see about a sheath.
I hope to have finished pics in a few days...
I use Cobalt drill bits to drill through unheat treated tool steel and blade steel. I'm not even sure if they'd work on heat treated SR-77 though.
Good luck on the drilling. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
