Bulldog done twice!

Post by glennbad »

I originally did this Bulldog folder back in 2016 in paper micarta. The shield work was a little wonky, but the customer didn't complain. Fast forward to present day, and he was interested in having it redone in stag. I jumped at the chance to redeem myself. This time we went without a shield and he wanted an exposed pivot pin. I think all in all, a good improvement.

First pic is original knife. Second pic is the paper micarta mod. Last pics are the recent stag work...

Great work as usual, I like the look of the exposed pin on that one.

I love that stag too! And now that I think about it I like that exposed pivot pin head too. No more worrying about sunken pin heads showing up. ::tu:: ::tu::

I peened the pin as round as I could get it. Then I used a cup burr to smooth things out. Then I just buffed it.

I hope that answers your question.

Yes it does I have always wondered. Have seen them but never knew how.
