Made a small tweak to my 6 sided knot jig. As I've posted before I cut these based on locator holes. I drilled this blank and measured each location. The total variance was only .006. These are now very easy to make. Wood is Osage Orange, Three layer vulcanized fiber paper infill. Infill is .044, knot angle is 55°. Pen is a Liberty click.

Love the look. Good work.
Where do you get your fish paper? I saw a video with someone using it and had never heard of it. Seems like a good infill material.
I get it at USA knife maker. Make sure you are not buying G10 material.

That's the one place I was directed to look. Was curious if you had another avenue. There was a good selection on colors, but they were out of stock of many of them.
I have bought at both Amazon and Etsy. I just bought some from USA Knifemaker and didn't see any out of stock, at least what I looked at.

Lately you've been very knotty Ken! Your six-sided knots are exceptional.

the precise nature of that really catches the eye Ken. Great work
beyond my pay grade currently but something to aim for . I've only just got the hand of basic 4 way knots thus far but fun trying and that's how you learn .
Also reading your and others hints and tips for which I offer sincere thanks

nice knot! I appreciate you told us the cut angle. That is way to often left out of descriptions. Pens are usually 45, unless they aren't 
Bottle stoppers are rarely 45...I don't want to make tiny knots.
