A Couple of Customized SCHRADE 296 Y knives......
Here are a couple of knives that seemed to have taken me almost forever to get done! But, I sold our home, found and bought another and then moved while in the midst of getting these two done!
The one has Stag Antler scales, and the anomaly with the wavy line is natural and I got it to fit the show side of the knife, the other is some nice prime Paua.
Both knives have full file jobs that wonder down onto the blades.....
And last, but hardly least are the blades themselves.
When I got these knives the blades where done in a wire finish. I was surprised at how 'hard' the steel in the blades is and believe me, it was no small chore to rub them out!
Enjoy them Ken!!

I am very glad that Hukk told me about your talent my Knifer Artist.
These 2 knives speak highly of your work.
I must say you sure have an eye of an Artist.
The file work is FANTASTIC and UNIQUE...
This was my first time redoing a knife and I learned a lot from you.
I to have noted that Schrade used strong materials.
The brass and steel that Schrade used seem to me to be the best for the money.
I am looking forward to seeing your NEW shop.
Good thing come to those that wait....
Here are what the knives looked like befor Colin Paterson turned them in to JEWELS.

WOW! Get a load of that filework!
That is some superb filing there! Since doing filework myself, all filework has an interest to me, but this one tops them all.!!
Nice to see you back BTW Colin
