Remember that KENT hawkbill...I tweaked it a little
A while back I ended up with this damaged hawbill pruner by KENT. I loved the wood from the get go.
About an hour ago I decided to well.......... tweak 'er a little...
Let me know whatchus think!

That's cool, it looks a lot better than the hawkbill.

Well then that's even more impressive then! That blade kind of reminds me of an elephant toe blade, pretty cool. Must have take a whole heckuva lot of filing and grinding by hand to achieve that shape.TripleF wrote:Yeah buddy!313 Mike wrote:I like it Scott! Peanut butter spreader blade!

Very nice job, Scott! Very useable knife now.
You would never know it used to be a hawk bill.
That jigged wood handle is still an oddity - never seen jigged wood before!
