POS redo

Post by glennbad »

I participated in the POS roundtable a few months back. This is the pile of poop that I got...

However, there was this ring turn knife that looked kinda cool. I liked the way it was put together...

I decided to do a reno on it. Here's the final result:

Smooth blue bone from Culpepper.

Hey now, I recognize that pile o' dung! Great job re-working that little knife, I thought that was one of the worst of the lot, but you polished that turd right up, and gave it a new life, way to go! I believe that knife came to me originally from Ironhoarder in a previous pos roundtable....that little knife has travelled around quite a bit wating for someone to see the beauty that lurked within....

Excellent work & a nice save Glenn!

That little pen knife in the lower left of your first pic seems to have potential too.

Yeah, it's not bad. Tang is unmarked, but I think it is German, as I have seen alot of the German knives have the different pins than the bolsters. Also, the blades don't always pop back in the right way if you have them open. Got some decent bone though.

One mans' trash.....

Thanks,
Glenn

Excellent work Glenn...I'm amazed at how you got the rings and pins out, then peened them in again. Very nice, cheers

Thanks. That was a fun one (NOT), and it was pretty early in my modding history. I guess I've come a long way, LOL.

Wow, the change in color alone made a huge difference - not to mention all the other work! Looks great to me ::tu::
