Small Utica Rope Knife Rehandle by Jeffinn

Post by jerryd6818 »

Jeffinn was kind enough to go slightly out of his comfort zone (rehandle for a customer) and remove the Delrin® from this little (3" closed) Utica rope knife and replace them with some Culpepper Amber Winterbottom. I'm very pleased with his work. ::tu::

A big thanks to Jerry for getting me to step outside my comfort zone.
I’m glad he was happy with my work.

Glenn, are you saying I'm weird? ::hmm:: ::watching_you::

What ever. It sure dressed up that drab little rope knife. My thanks to Jeff for turning a sow's ear into a silk purse.

Now that you've done one (and a fine job of it too, if I might say so), you have enough extra PC boards to do more. ::woot::

Jeff..... I can't believe you let Jerry sucker you in like that! (..LOL..)

Great job Jeff! You have been doing some really beautiful work ...SO.... it's about time you got out there and started making a few pennies off your craftsmanship.
Congrats on gathering up your intestinal fortitude and getting out there!

Thanks MM,
Looking to hopefully mod a knife or two each week (either mine or a customers). It keeps me busy and I enjoy doing it!

Everything you just said is my vision for retirement.
