Stanwade wrote: Tue Feb 16, 2021 8:32 am I modified both of these to all wharncliffe blades. The Case had a broken tip and the KK blades needed reprofiled, also. I figured they were good candidates to become wharnies 😁..not bad for an amateur...I didn't pay much for either.. adding them to my EDCs..(as if I don't have enough already 🙄)...I still have to polish/buff the bolsters...
Good job Buddy! ::tu:: ::nod::

Thanks KGIG!😁🤝.. I'm going to work on the tips a little more and buff the bolsters...I've been watching a guy on youtube lately (his chanel is "Outdoors55", I highly recommend watching his videos) who is an amateur knife maker.. he's pretty slick.. all of his videos are very entertaining, informative and family friendly. So now I have this idea in my head that I want to start making my own fixed blades ::facepalm:: .. I gotta build a garage first before I jump into that or Kim will kill me if I start doing that in my house somewhere 😁. .. just be what I needed, another expensive hobby ::facepalm:: ..

Thanks John, wv trapper & Tom.

Ryan, I think you will be very pleased with your Natural Bone 1508NB...I love mine. ::nod::

I have to give credit to dlr110 (David Roberts--famous author of "Folding Knives, Starting Your Collection") for turning me (and others) onto the Brother brand. I got mine on Amazon.com for $39-$42...amazing price for the quality...which, if you've been paying attention, you'll already know is very similar to the AG Russell knives that were made in China, i.e., exceptional fit and finish. I am especially impressed with the 1508 Wharncliffe model...but the 1503 Lockback Cowfish is also a well made knife.
