Ironic

Post by muskrat man »

I just finished rebuilding a Schatt Harness knife for our friend sunburst, in the process I replaced the gassed candy stripe cell ('m sure he'll show the finished product when he recieves it). The very next day I recieved a Schatt doctors knife to remove the bone and install candy stripe cell. Who woulda guessed? I didn't have a large keystone shield (it was requested), so I got a picture of one, got a good idea of the shape I needed and made one out of some nickel sheet stock (if you want to get technical is was a busted liner that came off of a tested era case stockman, so it has a story behind it.) Anyway, after one scale catching on fire while trying to work it down to shape, I got'er done. I think it turned out rather nice if I do say so myself.

Still working on my picture skills, getting better or worse?

this is what the pile side scaled looked like when I managed to get it to stop flaming, good thing I hadn't pinned it on yet!

Aw come on MM you can go ahead and tell the truth that the burned out remains is what's left of the knife I sent you to fix.. ::tounge::

Nice customizing job MM, here I am sending you a knife to get rid of candy stripe and someone else is wanting candy stripe..That's why they make so many knives in all shapes and sizes I guess.. :)
