Okay, I know this is no where near the skill displayed here on a regular basis, but I thought I'd show off my tinkering. I have a handful of these used Schrade Cliphangers laying around so I thought I'd do something with one of them. I wish I took a before pic, but I didn't really plan on doing this- it just kind of happened.
This knife started off very poorly sharpened, & chewed up on a grinder. I took a little inspiration from my Lake & Walker and went to work with my Dremel. I reshaped the spine and straightened out the edge removing the grinder damage & the serrations. I sanded smooth and polished the spine to pretty it up a bit. Now I have a new user(beater). The second picture shows my L & W and another CH7 that will have to serve as my "before" picture.
