CUSTOM 2 OT
Posted: Fri Mar 24, 2017 6:36 pm
Here is a GEM I just received in the mail yesterday evening!
This is a Schrade Walden 2 OT, one of the FIRST Old Timers on the Market. After watching the work done by our very own Glennbad, I contacted him to see if he was interested in doing something with it for me!
He was interested and I send the knife to him. We went back and forth, a little, about what I wanted done with the knife and I basically asked him to do something unique with it as I wanted it as an EDC. Now most of you that know me, also know I typically do not carry a knife, however, the 2 OT is my most favorite pattern and I wanted one to carry in my pocket.
Glenn suggested Ivory handles and I said that I would be happy with it....I really wanted something unique and different. Below is the descriptionof the knife and pictures of the absolute piece of Art he sent me in return.
Schrade Walden 2 OT originally with Red Bone handles
Rehandled with IVORY which has some inclusions in it. I would not have known what that was until Glenn Explained...LOL The Ivory with the inclusions adds a tremendous amount of character to the knife.
Glenn sealed the deal with a Nice Diamond Shield
He left the blades with the original patina and edge!
Folks, this is truly a work of Art and I couldn't have come up with his ideas alone much less his skills to customize this knife. I will treasure this beauty forever and I even considered not carrying her because she is such a beauty. However, this was intended to be an EDC and I will honor Glenn by doing exactly what I said I would do...EDC
Glenn, I am forever in your debt, Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
