WOW that's a beautiful knife. And those handles!!!jxr1197 wrote: ↑Mon Apr 12, 2021 5:06 pm If this version had made it into the catalogs it would have been a 2209-1/2W. The knife started out as a completely worn down 2204. The two new blades include a sheepfoot and pen and the plastic handles were replaced with whale tooth. Filework on the springs and liners complete the makeover.

Great knife Jason!
Re: MODIFIED SCHRADES
The handles were the hard part. Finding legal, documented whale teeth for sale took a while (and cost a fortune).
Thanks!

Re: MODIFIED SCHRADES
6OT Lockback
A while back Schradenut gifted me this knife in is 'as new' condition except for a crack in the Delrin handle near the lanyard hole.
(Schrade sure didn't leave a lot of room there)
I slimmed down the Bolster added some Walnut handles that taper out from front to back and instead of a lanyard hole I added a bail
just for something different.
Pretty happy with the result

Re: MODIFIED SCHRADES
Here is a 51OT I modified a few months ago.
For reference..... Here is a normal 51OT...
Here is Mikie's version of the 51OT with (I think) buckeye covers.....
It was a fun little project.

Nicely done Mike
I assume new liners (?) and you have hidden the pivot pin - given it a whole new look - I like it

I just reshaped everything, liners and blade, to be what I wanted it to look like.
Ummmmm.... I think the pivot pin is there just dark maybe...??
(Here is the other side....)
Thanks for the complements!

Deer antler on a 94OT that was a big mess..... It turned out OK.... I didn't try to make it look new.
