All About Pocket Knives

With the recent addition of the ivory I*XL (bomb from PCWizard), I just wanted to show off my collection of Glennbad mods which has grown to this gorgeous trio of two ivories and a gnarly stag.

I feel like the proud father of triplets!

Thank you, Gary and Glenn.

Awesome trio Q!!! Glennbad is a craftsman. Glad for you that you have them.

~Q~ I'm glad you started this. Glenn deserves the notoriety. May I tag on. Not trying to out do you.
These are the ones I could find that Glen has done for me.
Thanks Glenn. More appreciation than you can imagine.

Absolutely. I love seeing Glenn's work. I know he's done a lot of mods and I was thinking it would be nice to be able to see them all together in one dedicated thread. Then, right after I made my post, I remembered that there already is a thread dedicated to Glenn's work called "Glennbad is the BADDEST."

Oh well, looks like now there are two glennbad threads.

I had a hair of a time finding the proper shield for Glenn to install on it. The Camillus 23 is a great pallet for customization and Glenn has done a few.

This is one he did for me. I love it. And this is one he did for a relative (I'm remembering B-I-L but I could be wrong) that was retiring from the Marine Corps. He did an outstanding job on it.

WOWZUH....those are some dandy's fellas!!

Awesome work Glenn!!

Beautiful knifes! The inset Major's leaf, retirement knife...is the best military retirement gift I've ever seen!!!

Not a Major, Doc. That's a Lt. Col. leaf. (Major is gold) And I'm with you. The knife is just splendiferous.

Ahh...it looked gold on my monitor. I retired as a LtCol...so I do know the difference
Never got anything remotely as nice as that knife!

Air Force. I've seen more than my share of retirement presents. Glenn...you get first place!!!!!!!

Here's a few more re-handled by Glenn. He does top shelf quality work.

The first is an Cargill Handmade, the other is an Case Doctor Knife from 1965-69

You guys are too kind, it's embarrassing... Thank you for the nice comments, it truly means a lot, and doing projects that you guys appreciate is a huge honor for me.

If you like the work I do, please know that it is only possible because of those I learned from along the way. Guys like Dale, Kaleb, Bob, etc., are great mentors and friends, and freely share their knowledge with everyone. Also, I find that the "newer" mechanics teach me things every day. You cannot put a price on that shared knowledge and experience.

I look at some of my early work, and am a bit embarrassed that I sent those knives out like that, but I guess that is a part of learning and honing your craft. I try to raise the bar with every project that I do, and while I will never be fully satisfied with the work I do, I keep trying.

Thanks.
Glenn

Great topic! It's nice to see large body of Glens work all in one topic. It really is impressive to see so many high quality modifications at one time. It makes a much bigger impression than seeing one or two come out at a time.
Congratulations my friend, this body of work here is a fine representation of the quality and level of your craftsmanship!

Glenn did a mighty fine job turning this Schatt & Morgan Heritage Cattlemen into a single blade for me. It had some serious flaws from the factory but now it's a knife that I'm proud to own.

Wow impressive work Glennbad ! That one queen electrician blade mod had the wheels turning - melikey

..jerryd, the 4th one in your picture is still at the top of my "gift" list!!!.......... .............

My little family of Glennbad mods has just grown with the recent arrival of Case 07W twins.

I believe this officially constitutes a full house--3 Stag and 2 Ivory...all Wharncliffes.
I am a happy man!

Q that first one has a Herman Williams look to it. That is a complement to you and to Glennbad. Wow those are lovely!

YES!!!
Very nice collection of beautiful knives!
Glenn is quite the craftsman.

Beautiful GlennMods!

.....glenn, I have to look at this every few days to make sure mine is still up there!!!..........thanks again to you and jerry!!!!.............. ................................................
