I had this Imperial That I left in the knife sheath
While I was cleaning it, I decided to rehandle the knife in red bone. I am a little out of practice so a couple of mistakes, but it turned out ok for a work knife. Just wanted to share.

Wow !! That looks great
The bolsters are like mirrors.
What type of wood did you use on the handles?? That is one good looking knife.

Right? I probably wouldn't have that one if the customer hadn't sent it to me to work on. As a general rule, I'm not fond of working on lockbacks, they can be tricky to get lockup to work well, especially when you take them apart.
