125OT With Jigged Bone Handles
I got a few of these 125OT's in recently so I've been cleaning them up as time allows. Seems like I'm still a few weeks behind on everything.
I gave this one some mahogany jigged bone handles and a new Schrade factory blade. I ended up with a tiny gap at the one corner where the bone meets the bolster on one side
. I tried my hand at electro chemical etching and put my new makers mark on the blade. (I've got a few other marks in the works but this one will work for now). There's the option to etch in deep black or simple grey (a/c or d/c). This one is grey (but I've tried the black etch and like that as well). Its a fairly crisp etch but the photo makes it look less defined.
Thanks for looking!

I like the etch! The knife is pretty darn nice also!
I only wish your pictures were a little lighter, so I could see your work better.

Nice work Jeff....
I love the color of that mahogany bone. That last knife I did was mahogany. Great color!
Beautiful knife! well done!
Yep, I have to agree with Glenn.... you and I need to learn how to make pics that show that beautiful detail.

Yeah, the interior light box sometimes has a darkening effect on the photos. Here's a few taken outdoors: Thanks.

Man Jeff,
That is one beautiful knife. I always have liked the 125ot. But the bone makes it outstanding.
I think the etch really adds to the whole knife.

Nev
