First big project in a while

Post by muskrat man »

This is the first in depth customization I've done in months. I cranked out a bunch of mundane repairs a few days ago to get my juices flowing again, then tackled this. It was the last knife in a 4 knife order from back before my ordeal. Case select 88 congress, put on new mammoth ivory scales, serrated liners and matched arrowhead filework.
