The transition is mind-boggling and so stunning that words fail me, so I'll just have to let the results speak for themselves.

Glennbad put some tusk on this Copperlock. Also got rid of the cap and gave me a lanyard tube. Whole different animal.

Thanks doglegg, appreciate it. Forgot to mention the ivory Copperlock mod was an idea from Q, he got Glennbad to do his magic on a pair.

Thanks guys, but all thanks and kudos should go to Glennbad and Q. They were the impetus and the facilitators. Hats off to Q and Glenn.

I bought this Schatt & Morgan Heritage Series Cattleman and upon arrival I discovered that the nail pull on the Sheepsfoot blade was inaccessible without opening the Spear blade first which was a ridiculously poor design.

I sent it off to Glenn for a blade delete and he did a stellar job. Glenn took a virtually unusable knife and turned it into a knife that I’m proud to own.

He even got the blade nicely centered.

Ironically, Queen came out with a single blade version just like this shortly after I got mine back from Glenn. I could have just waited and got one of those but then I wouldn’t have this cool story to tell.

Glenn, it’s been a few years since you worked on this knife but I’m still just as giddy about it as I was the day I got it back from you. Thanks again man! ::handshake::

Another Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaabulous mod tuned in from Glennbad the man. I liked the Ebony it had on it, but it was never a knife that reached out and grabbed my attention or mezmerized me with the endless fascination of the varied textures and undulating groovy antler. Now it does. Man am I please with this baby and so thankful for Glen and all the knife mechanics that bring us these one of a kinds. Thanks again Glen. You da man.

Thanks Marco, appreciate the love, and thanks to Glennbad for the great work and antler. Worked out better than hoped for as usual with Glenn.
