Post by muskrat man »

A couple stacked leather re handles this week. Quite pleased with the way these came out.

Excellent work. ::tu:: And that original (not the 1990s version) Camillus just blows me away.

Excellent work I have been contemplating trying to redo a leather handle knife but I am kinda apprehensive. Both knives are really nice. Great!

Really nice work, and I especially like the alternating large and small washers on the Camillus. I do not know if that is the way the originals were made, but it sure looks like it would give a good grip, not to mention how good it looks.

Optical illusion, all the washers were the same thickness, they were NOS camillus washers I believe

Great job on the 153. Not many guys mess with a 153, other than Stag. It looks good.

You are correct Tony, not many guys would put leather on a 153, however the leather looks spectacular with the thicker guard and butt cap! ::nod::

Almost a Randall type look too it, quite nice.
