Outstanding work Kaleb! The file work is very clean, the bolster embellishments are a positive addition rather than a distraction.
I have not been a fan of Parker knives since the 1980s having had some bad experiences in dealing with the company and received some bad product from them. I know some Parker's knives are better made than others, (even Schrade made some) but I always considered that particular knife to be, at best a sow's ear! I thought it was one of the most ugly and clumsy looking knives I've seen.
You definitely improve the looks 500%, the lines look much cleaner, the handle material choice is excellent for this particular knife, it really works! All of your embellishments on the knife as well is the handle material makes my eye flow along the lines of the knife instead of being stuck looking at, (what I had always considered), a blocky, clunky looking knife.

Congratulations my friend I think you finally succeeded, and turning a sow's ear into a silk purse!
And they said it couldn't be done!
