Broken scales and no snap.
Had a guy send me his Tested Whittler with broken scales and no snap on blades but the blades were pretty full so I had to have the springs filled in where worn also had to build up the pivot on the tang as they were worn down. Now it has gator snap

Nice save. All it needs now is some pocket time.

Re: Broken scales and no snap.
Beautiful work! I like the bone that you used (at a customer's request), although I wonder if it is possible to find something more closely resembling Tested period green bone. (So far, I haven't found anything that is even close.)

Re: Broken scales and no snap.
Great work, and good choice on the bone. I enjoy knives that are a bit "personalized" users, rather than just safe queens. I can see why the customer is pleased with it!
