ULSTER re-handle

Post by Ridgegrass »

Getting into fixing up my invalids. Just finished the ULSTER Stockman I bought Saturday. The bones were broken and missing some big chunks. I had a leftover piece of wild cherry I had harvested 30 years ago for a mantelpiece. It's really nice to work with, much easier than rosewood. Turned into a nice $4.00 carry. Here are before and after pics. J.O'.

That turned out really nice! ::tu::
I've been carrying my old stockman lately and forgot how useful they are.

Excellent rehandle JO! I’m a fan of big ol stockman knives.

You’ve given that ol workhorse another 100 years of usefulness.

Nice work J.O.! And, nice to have that old wild cherry wood to "repurpose". I think that one will be a great EDC buddy! ::tu:: ::tu::
