Three for ThomasG

Post by Reverand »

I recently finished repairing three knives for ThomasG. Thankfully he was very patient with me, as it took me a couple of months or more to get the work done.
I forgot to take good "before" pictures:

I built up the springs to restore the snap to these blades in this Case 6265SAB, then dressed it in burl Walnut. Then I did a little cleaning and reshaping on the blades. I left the handles a bit thick, and it is a beefy handful! I didn't have good light to capture the grain of the wood in these pictures.

The Western States had plastic MOTS handles with an advertisement on them, but got rehandled in Oak. I had meant to put Padauk wood instead, but the oak fit better. I did these without disassembling the knife, and regretted it. It didn't save any time, and I did not get the inside of the knife as clean as I would have liked.

I rehandled this OK Stockman in Amber Wormgroove bone from Culpeppers, and reshaped the tipped sheepsfoot blade. Then gave the blades a light cleaning. This one turned out the best of the three in my opinion.

It was fun, but most of all the owner is happy with them.

Very nice work as always Reverand! And, I agree with your comments about regretting not disassembling a knife. ::tu:: ::tu::
