A schrade hawkbill restore

Post by muskrat man »

I got this old schrade hawkbill off a forum member in a trade, It was well used and slightly abused, thought I had a before picture around here somewhere, but I guess not. I took it today and made a nice clean looking knife out of it. I may make this one my user. ::nod:: cleaned and reshaped the blade (point had been broken), cleaned the handles and bolsters/liners as well. It looks polished but it isn't the blade is the brushed satin finish like Schrade gave them from the factory.
