Outstanding mods, the stag handles especially, every one looks just perfect.

This one in particular makes me envious. :mrgreen: ::tu::

I asked Glenn to replace the yellow synthetic handle on this Case Copperlock (549WL CV) with Gnarly Stag, and he delivered in spades!

I never get tired of chicken eyeing and coon fingering this beauty.

Man that is a smoking hot lockback now Joe!
Man Glenn sure does good work. I have a few knives that i am going to get either him or muskrat man to rescale/bolster. Plain old imperials sure can be made into nice knives.

I don't know how many mods Glenn has done in the year or so since the last post in this thread, but I feel extremely fortunate that he did these two Case Wharncliffe Mini Trappers for me recently and I think you'll understand why.

The transition is mind-boggling and so stunning that words fail me, so I'll just have to let the results speak for themselves.

Thanks doglegg, appreciate it. Forgot to mention the ivory Copperlock mod was an idea from Q, he got Glennbad to do his magic on a pair.

Thanks guys, but all thanks and kudos should go to Glennbad and Q. They were the impetus and the facilitators. Hats off to Q and Glenn.

I bought this Schatt & Morgan Heritage Series Cattleman and upon arrival I discovered that the nail pull on the Sheepsfoot blade was inaccessible without opening the Spear blade first which was a ridiculously poor design.

I sent it off to Glenn for a blade delete and he did a stellar job. Glenn took a virtually unusable knife and turned it into a knife that I’m proud to own.
IMG_5436.JPG
IMG_5438.JPG
He even got the blade nicely centered.
IMG_5437.JPG
Ironically, Queen came out with a single blade version just like this shortly after I got mine back from Glenn. I could have just waited and got one of those but then I wouldn’t have this cool story to tell.

Glenn, it’s been a few years since you worked on this knife but I’m still just as giddy about it as I was the day I got it back from you. Thanks again man! ::handshake::
