Schrade 196 pimp job

Post by glennbad »

This knife started out looking like this one (not the same knife, I didn't take a before pic)

I added bolsters, a shield, and the handle material is either wood or some kind of diamondwood. I can't tell exactly what it is though, but it came from a large stock of older knife making/repair materials that I purchased awhile back. It does finish quite nicely though, whatever it is!

The knife didn't have a pattern number, so I think it may be in that transition period between the Cut Co and the early Walden years.
