That looks great so far! Funny, I have one of those that I am working on right now as well. It was a boy scout model, which looks to be the same as yours.

Can't wait to see the finished product.

That knife makes for a really nice restoration. Here is the 72 that Orvet did for me. It started out with the handles cracked, chipped and broken and Orvet rehandled in smooth red bone.
