Cant wait to see the end result OC

Q I am glad you like it. Thanks for the kind words

Thanks to all. Customer was stoked.

Threw a bit of Mammoth Ivory on this for a customer.

I used carbide straight fluted on hardened steel works well.

Good job Glen

Nice work!

Hard to show the real color in a picture.

I take knives apart and put em back together daily. I never get too technical with .002 or what ever. If it fits it fits. I have to turn down pins all the time but only measure by it fitting The hole I am trying to fill I never break out the calipers and measure.

Very nice 75 collection!

Q I might need that wharnie Copperlock for a project

Beauty now BIGHEAD. Looks fabulous. Do you dye the antler to get that color or do you buy it like that? Nice work all around.

Buy it dyed from Joe Culpepper.

Thanks Glen.

Thanks Dale I hope its new owner likes it.

Thanks and yessir it is.
Sorry for the bad pictures. I forgot to take any good ones but made a small video.

A weak point for what? Batoning a steel pole? Before you go through all that trouble why don't you try to see if you can make the pin fail in one of those knives? I'd think some other part of the knife would fail before the pin which would negate making the pin more robust. Of course if you just wa...

I'm wondering what kind of knife this is? As already mentioned above, .2"is already quite large for a folding knife. I rarely need to use a pin size over 1/8" (.125). In fact, the only times I can remember needing a pin over 1/8" is for those Colonial and United WW2 pilot's survival ...

That one was a while ago. Thanks for the kind words.

After photos later.
