197Uh with home jigged & dyed bone handles
Posted: Thu Apr 12, 2007 9:17 am
Well, I finally did it.
I took some smooth white bone slab, jigged them, dyed them and put them on an old Uncle Henry Cat's Paw, model #197UH.
I forgot to take a before pic, but the knife has a chip out of the end of the blade, the blade was heavily scratched and it had a terrible wobble to it.
I will save the bone jigging & dying process for another thread, as it is more than I can type tonight.
The thing I was most impressed with was that I was able to tighten a Swinden Key knife without drilling it out and pinning it. That too will have to wait for another time to explain.
Here are a few pics of the knife.
Let me know what you think,
Dale
