Western before + after

[muskrat man]

A little leather handled goodness

Excellent work Kaleb.

I do, however, have to question why you'd do away with a perfectly good duct tape handle like the second from the left in the top photo.

Wow, those are something, Kaleb! Just beautiful!

Really great work, Kaleb. That knife 3rd from left looks to be a real strong work knife.
Very nice!

[muskrat man]

Thanks men. The far right is actually the heftiest, far left and 3rd from left are actually really thin spined lightweight knives which is what I like, they have super thin edges and sharpen up like straight razors and make great knives for skinning and cutting flesh. Those two I'll keep at least for a little while, the rest may eventually find new homes.

Very, very nice work! I LOVE western knives anyway, but you made those look outstanding. I have a skinner much like the one third from the left that could use some attention. I'll have to keep what you've done in mind.

I love the fact that your end product is still a knife a feller wouldn't be afraid to use, but it looks extra nice at the same time.

Nice work Kaleb!
I am working on a Western now too. I hope it turns out as nice.

Very nice work, a true craftsman.

The previous owners shouldn't be allowed to own knives, well done resto's
