All About Pocket Knives

VERY cool...
I LIKE!!
Deer antlers make great knife handles.
Great JOB!!

I was trying to get the blade seated in the antler and this happened. All the way to bone.

As Doug Marcaida would say, ' it will keel'. Or least it will cut.

OUCH!!

As Quick Draw McGraw would say, "Ooooooo That Smarts!"

Friend did this for me a few years back

If this version had made it into the catalogs it would have been a 2209-1/2W. The knife started out as a completely worn down 2204. The two new blades include a sheepfoot and pen and the plastic handles were replaced with whale tooth. Filework on the springs and liners complete the makeover.

Great thread idea! Enjoying the pictures!

Wow Jason!
That's such an eye catching gem, I'll bet they can see that one from the ISS!

Thanks - this project took a long time to come together and in the end it exceeded my expectations. Kaleb (muskratman) knocked this one out of the park.

Great knife Jason!

The handles were the hard part. Finding legal, documented whale teeth for sale took a while (and cost a fortune).

Thanks!

6OT Lockback

A while back Schradenut gifted me this knife in is 'as new' condition except for a crack in the Delrin handle near the lanyard hole.
(Schrade sure didn't leave a lot of room there)

I slimmed down the Bolster added some Walnut handles that taper out from front to back and instead of a lanyard hole I added a bail
just for something different.
Pretty happy with the result
Derek

Great work, looks really nice.

Looks great! Nicely done.

Here is a 51OT I modified a few months ago.

For reference..... Here is a normal 51OT...


Here is Mikie's version of the 51OT with (I think) buckeye covers.....


It was a fun little project.

Nicely done Mike
I assume new liners (?) and you have hidden the pivot pin - given it a whole new look - I like it

Actually... everything is from the 51OT....
I just reshaped everything, liners and blade, to be what I wanted it to look like.

Ummmmm.... I think the pivot pin is there just dark maybe...??
(Here is the other side....)


Thanks for the complements!

Here is another.....

Deer antler on a 94OT that was a big mess..... It turned out OK.... I didn't try to make it look new.

And... here is a 6OT with some red bone on it.....

Good work Mike! All three are nicely done.

Great work Mike

Thanks Y'all!
