Going to be hard to top what you did for the Dr. willy. Iggydude's dymondwood is killer too.
The stainless is the inner liner. Another layer will be a black fiber spacer material about the same thickness. Next will be O.D. Green Micarta (3/16") that will have some cool shape to it.

So is the oversized micarta the handle size or are you sanding it closer to the SS? Can you take a pic of the blade on top of the bottom scale (above) so I have a better idea of size?

Plan is to do a friction folder from scratch. I see so many things with the Svord that I would change, mostly the shape of the blade and the "flipper" too.
If someone wanted me to do a Svord (Mini Peasant only) for them, I'd definitely be game for it.
I got the holes drilled in the handles, first one turned out excellent, the other went SNAFU on me When I drilled the second hole in the stainless liner it lifted on me when I backed out the bit. It wasn't a loss, just had to epoxy it back on. I know what I did wrong and it won't happen again!
Some pics!
The bronze washers are 1/2" outside diameter, I'll take them down a little.
A view of the Micarta, black fiber spacer, and the liner. You can also get a better look at the rear spacer.
I'll get the other handle to shape tomorrow and we'll really see what it's looking like!
