Good job Tony. You saved a fine old knife from a certain death!

[OLDE CUTLER]

Yes, the olive micarta does look good on that Boker. Saved another old one from decomposition. Turned out great!

Lucky you got to that one when you did--Granddad had a near identical knife in his collection that outgassed, which meant a good two hours of work for me. At least I got a bunch that had issues (worn blades, a broke secondary blade, damaged handles, etc.) that were good as users.

I always enjoy working on these family projects. Nice save!

Breakdown, takedown, shakedown..I love it!... Great work Tony!

I have got to get myself some of these other scale materials to keep on hand.

Good save!!
