Geez, drilling a tang hole centrally is not easy after they are turned, good luck with that. I always drill the tang hole first, plus if I don't know the size, drill a small one so drilling a larger one is much easier.

I tried drilling it before I started, but it couldn't even be scratched. Super fresh-sharp.... Slow... Colossal pressure.... Nope
A 3mm bit was uttterly blunted just getting a pilot for the live centre.
It's being taken to an engineering shop that has the jigs and a magic drill.
DS, I agree with the order, but it wasn't to be!

I certainly didn't realise the magnitude of what I was asking when i ordered the turning (given I had never tried to turn G10) but nice enjoyed following the trials and tribulations of your part of this collaboration mate. You've excelled!

For those interested in the finished product.
My attempt at an AAS replica with a suitably military theme given its a military knife and 100 yr anniversary of ANZAC day yesterday.
Lest we forget.
Damascus blade and guard, g10 core with flame sheoak outer. This entire knife is as dimensionally accurate as I could get it and within 0.5mm of the dimensions I was provided.
Massive thanks to Evan for his help!
