Customized Case Trapper

Post by doccowboy »

Howdy Folks,

I am attaching a picture of a Case Trapper that I recently customized. This is about the 5th knife I have done and am looking for input. I have no real idea about what to charge for this type of work. I make buckles, spurs, etc and just started on the knives. Any improvement opportunities that you guys (or gals) see?

Thanks,

D.C.

Howdy Folks,

Just wanted to thank everyone for their feedback. I was really surprised! :o Family feedback was good also but..... Family is family and are not wont to hurt feelings so don't always express their true opinion and most are not familiar enough with engraving etc., in most instances, to give me the feedback needed to improve.

The pictures fo the other Case knife posted here was also awsome. I have not tried wood or other media for the handles as of yet, nor have I braved completely tearing down the knife. ::paranoid::
