A Remington Knife I Did For An AAPK Member

Post by Jeffinn »

I had a request from a member to put some new handles on a Remingt9n knife. It was the same style knife as one I had done previously. The customer requested green bone and I was happy to work in that color bone for a change.
Here’s the knife before the upgrade;

And here it is after installing some new hunter green bone handles;

Sorry I didn’t take more pictures but I was focused on reworking the knife.

Jeff, I’ve been watching your work now for some time and you have really honed your skills. I love green and that one looks amazing.

Thank you everyone!
I’ve spent the last couple of years working on knives and acquiring the tools needed to rework knives. I feel like I still have a lot to learn but I’m really happy with the progress that Ive made so far.
There’s been a handful of guys here that have shared their knowledge and experience with me and you can’t get that kind of information anywhere else. Everyone that I’ve contacted with questions about how to do certain things has been very forthcoming with the information needed to complete my projects. It’s refreshing when the pros freely share their knowledge with you!
I love reworking knives and hope to do it for many more years!
A big thank you to all of the pros that have helped me along the way!

Very nice work Jeff!
Great fit of the bone between the bolsters!
The color of the bone looks really nice! AND you worked it down to a really nice fit and finish.
I know the owner is WELL pleased!
