Comment by Bob Robinson on July 4, 2014 at 20:11: Jan, A beauty of a knife! Great choice of handle materials!!!

Comment by Jan Carter on July 4, 2014 at 18:33: The rebuild on the Barndoor is complete. Blond Buffalo seemed the right choice

Comment by Jan Carter on June 29, 2014 at 21:13: Jack,

That ironwood is beautiful! Great Job!

Comment by Jan Carter on June 29, 2014 at 19:25: Donnie's newest project. He will make a pattern of this before putting it back together. This is actually the only celluloid we ever had gas off, may as well put some new handles on it since we caught it early

Spyderco Dragonfly 2 handle with ironwood scales and birch backspacer. I think I'll carry this for a while. It works really well. Perfectly in fact. Even if a knife looks nice I hate carrying it if it has a performance problem. This one opens/closes great. Lockup is solid and when it closes it has a lot of pop to it and more than enough springiness holding it closed.
