All About Pocket Knives

I bought a couple of these awhile ago and just dug them out. I’ve been working with Micarta lately and decided to put some bone colored linen Micarta on this one (I still had some pieces of the bone color left from a previous project). It’s coming along nicely. I had to order up some pin stock, the pivot pin was just a shade larger than what I had available.
I’m still debating on whether to dress up the bolsters with some threading.

Looks good Jeff!

Very nice Jeff!!
YES.... dress 'em... dress 'em!!

That'll be one FINE looking knife when it's done!

You are an Artist Jeff! I love your work!

Looks great, excellent work!

Beautiful knife. It almost looks like a new release.

Looks great Jeff. I'm a big fan of the LB7.

Looking nice!

Jeff you keep getting better. Very knice!

Very nice,what U going to do with it when done,it might need a home hint,hint.seriously looking great,and dressing up bolsters would top it off.

Good handle choice!

Did a little work on threading the bolsters today.
The rear bolster lines are just a shade off. I used the tape and jewelers saw method but something in the curve of the thumb notch must have thrown off the line. Not horribly wrong, just one of those little sniggly things that drives me crazy. If I widen the groove just a shade I might be able to correct it. Or I might just let it be.
I like the look just the same.

I'm gonna tell you what Jeff.... I LIKE those covers!
Your thread work is VERY nice!
I can't wait to see this one all finished!!


EXCELLENT!!

I was looking at some micarta on the net yesterday. All the linen micarta I saw had what looked like a cloth pattern down in it (linen?).
ALSO, I did see some that was called "paper micarta" and is had no grain in it to amount to anything.
I keep trying to zoom in to see the grain in your covers. Do they show a grain?

Yes, the linen micarta has a woven thread pattern that’s visible when viewed closely; I just purchased some od green canvas micarta also. The woven thread pattern on that is a little more distinct; Jeff

OK... I see the difference now.
Canvas - coarse
Linen - fine
paper - extra fine
Thanks Jeff!

Jeff, if you didn't say anything I would have thought that was the way you wanted them. I like your work.

I think the threading is fine. The knife looks great!
