Making a small dagger #2

So, here's just a quick update to this small dagger;

So, I drilled all 6 holes through, five-times 3 millimeters and once a 6 millimeter hole, all of them got cut off sharp edges on both sides.

Second thing done is brass pipe, 6x1 millimeters and it's about 16 millimeters long. It's far too long, but I will cut it of at bolting plates on knife. It took me ~5 minutes to make on lathe(PIC) from brass rod, 12 millimeters diameter.

On top of picture is also seen a brass rod, 3 millimeters diameter and lenght of about half a meter; it will be used for bolting plates on knife too. Just cut the sticks (about 10-12 millimeters long), add them to the plates and hammer once or twice, so there will be a nice rounded edge.
