All About Pocket Knives

I have been out of the game for a few years. Had alot of stuff going on in life but things have smoothed out the last few months so I got back to one of my favorite hobbies. I picked up this old US made Colonial knife at a flea market for $10 3 years ago. I love these old blades cuz they are made with carbon steel. I new it would be rehandled cuz the yellow plastic is horrific. A few days later i busted it apart and then it sat on my bench all this time. This morning i had an urge to work on a knife so i got this one out and finished it. Materials used are NS pins and sheet and natural micarta. I cut the washers out of NS sheet, drill the holes and made them round. That is a lot of work!

What do yall think?

Great job, I like it alot! Looks nice and slim too...those big chunky plastic handles weren't too pocket friendly...

yea it was way to fat and ugly. much better now. this one has lit a fire under my beehind. i already pulled a few more out of the drawer and gonna get on them this week.
