In this part of the tutorial we take our wooden handles and use them to make a mold, in which we cast the new resin handles.

These handles are nice but we want to make clear resin handles so that we can see the damascus pattern through them.

We are going to use a very easy method to make molds of the handles. This is something called amazing mold putty. Yup, it is actually called that.

You mix equal portions together. Mix it quickly. You only have a few minutes of workable time.

Form it around the wooden handles.

Once the mold has set, according to the directions of the particular product you use, you can remove the handle pieces.

Next we mix up a two part resin. Equal amounts of each.

And then pour it into the molds.

Now we let it set according to the directions. In the case of this product it will take between 24 and 48 hours to fully cure.

Ok, while this is setting lets get to the forge and prepare the knife blade
