case "tested" barlow in elk stag

Post by muskrat man »

I bought this one battered. The handles and blades were busted this is what I did with it. I fixed the small blade, wharnecliffed the large blade polished the bolsters, liners, and springs and added some elk, this wqas my first attempt at using elk stag for handles. what do you think?

What a good way to bring back life to an old beat up knife. That would be an excellent EDC.

I was thinking the same thing. If that knife still walks and talks, I'd rather have it in my pocket for every day use than prety much any new factory manufactured slipjoint available these days. ::tu::
