I finally got a chance to work on a knife
I finally got a chance to get out in my shop for a little while when I was off for the Christmas vacation.
One I have been wanting to fix for a while is my last 2OT.
I had 3 or 4 at one time that needed work. This one was the last.....
.
This guy had a busted cover on one side.
The bolsters were really nice and sharp!
Here is the before...
. .
The cover on the pile side was good.....
The main blade has some sharpening wear and the pen blade had a tiny nick at the tip.
Not a big problem at all.
. .
Time for disassembly....
It was pretty nasty so I gave it a good clean-up.
Here is the mark side with the new cover.
I can't remember the bone color... seems like it is amber.
. .
And here is the pile side cleaned up.
. Now, this one is in my Old Timer collection..... right beside the other 2OTs.
Thanks for looking everyone!

Re: I finally got a chance to work on a knife
Thanks!
Dale, I hope to be doing a little more since it is COLD outside. That is when I get more time in my shop.
I hope to do a few more soon. I will definitely shoe them here when I get 'em done.
(Thanks again for the COVID exchange package you sent me. There was a LOT of nice goodies in it!!!!)
