Case/Bose Hawbaker Muskrat
Not every day you get to rehandle one of these. The client picked some beautiful bookmatched, stabalized, spalted, buckeye burl for the new handles.

Re: Case/Bose Hawbaker Muskrat
Only someone with your skill level and excellent reputation should be given the chance to work on a knife like that, Kaleb!! Looks like the finish is stellar now!! Nice job!
