Glennbad re-work of a Western Fish Knife

I have to appologise to Glenn about being so slow posting this and pics. I have been having computer issues. I seem to have them worked out for now...so here goes.

I like the Texas ToothPick style fish knife. And being a Colorado boy, I also like Western knives. I located a Western Fish knife that had an over sharpened main blade, this model came with a hook sharpener imbedded in the scale..on this knife it was chipped and cracked. I looked long and hard and found another one that had a good main blade and the scales were cracked...the hook sharpener was heavely worn. The scales on both knives were yellow celluloid and not in great shape. I have pics that are in a different location, so I will try to add the before pics tomorrow when I get the thumbdrive from work. The before pics are helpful in seeing what Glenn had to work with...but the important pics are these.

I have to tell you that this was a sentimental project. The scales are eboney and the inlayed badge adds a huge touch of class. My first ever pocket knife was a Texas ToothPick style fish knife. Having a Western refinished like this....well it is beyond words.

The craftsmanship is second to none and it turned out better than I could have imagined. Glenn combined the 2 knives and added the eboney scales and badge inlay...it is perfect.

Glenn I can't thank you enough. It is my new favorite knife!

Ebony always adds a nice touch to most any old knife you put it on.
Glenn did a nice job of making one knife from 2 parts knives, and his usual excellent work.
Your knife has the Glennbad Touch, and that is a good thing!

Nice job Glenn!

Scott,

Thank you, and everyone else, for the kind words. You were more than patient waiting for this project, and gave me a lot of room to choose what to work with. Here is what I was sent...

I enjoyed this project because I was able to decide which parts to use, and it was the first fish knife I did a complete takedown on.

Glenn

Thanks for posting the before pics. and your after pic...that is almost as good as it looks in person

As I said this was a sentimental project and it is now even more so. This knife is better even that I imagined.

thank you Glenn
