Giraffe and Whiskey

Post by orvet »

I did this one a couple weeks ago maybe longer. I put it in my store and then forgot I hadn't posted it in here.
The knife is a Kershaw Whiskey Gap from the officers ranch series circa 1984. The knife is new old stock in the original box. The tang stamp changed about 1985 when Kai Cutlery purchased Kershaw. About that time they removed Oregon from the tang stamp.

Not a particularly difficult rear handle, the most difficult part is keeping the glue from being somewhere it shouldn't be.
The handles are replaced with giraffe bone.

I hope you enjoy the pictures.
