Thanks Kevin.  It is "fun" to do these pieces.  Very cool to watch them transform on you bench.  Look forward to seeing some of your projects in the future.

Very nice work Andy!

I honestly was not that impressed with the 'before' knives.  But after you disassemble them, clean then up nicely, and re-handle them, they are looking pretty classy.  I like to think that I appreciate good work.  Seeing some of your work has helped provide me with some ideas for some of my fun 'projects'.  ;)

Popped the plastic scales off of the Schrade O.T. liner lock.  Installed black micarta and black sea dichrolam in their place plus filework and some bolster work.

Started to open this one up just for filework and the handles snapped (it happens).  So I fileworked it and thought about what route to take on the handles.  I'd never done a cigar band but had the material...so...I put a cigar band on her and found scraps from my last 2 giraffe handles that fit the bill.  So, here's my first cigar band on a Case slimline trapper, I laid down a hybrid form of a vine pattern along the spine and back spring..
