Back at it! (Geo. W. Jackson rebuild in zebra wood)

[beresman]

After more than eight months away from the workbench (had a nerve problem in my right hand, and ended up having surgery to correct it), I have finished a little project I started almost a year ago. I honestly don't remember where I got this knife, but the scales (which might have been ebony) were in bad shape, and the liners were bent so the knife wouldn't close. I took it apart and tried my best to straighten things out. The main blade is bent just a bit, so it still doesn't like to close nicely, rubbing against the liner, but it at least does close. I really like the zebra wood I used on this, and will probably use more of it on other projects.

The bolsters are iron and I used nickel silver for the pins, because I couldn't find a nail in the size I wanted, and I decided not to drill out the blade pivots. Just laziness on my part, but it's just for my enjoyment, so I'm going to show myself some grace on that.

Beautiful grain on the wood. Good job.

Sorry for your hand problems but glad they are corrected. That turned out very knice. Love the handles, beautiful pattern in the wood. Great save.
