Joseph Rodgers mod

Post by glennbad »

I had this little Joseph Rodgers single blade knife. Very snappy, but had those shrinky-dink black plastic covers. I decided to rebuild it in stag.

Not sure of the vintage, as the blade etch is not inset. Thoughts on age? Anyway, a cute little guy at 3" closed.

Can't help you on the age, but you did a right smart job on the handles... ::tu::

Thanks for all the kind words. I have enjoyed carrying this for a day or two, disappears nicely in the pocket.

Somehow I missed this one when it was first posted. :?

Beautiful work as always, Glenn. As you know I am a HUGE fan of your work and treasure every mod you've done for me over the years. Seeing this one just makes my mouth water as I start thinking of all the mods I would still like to have you do. ::drool::

(Please be sure to let me know when you finally decide to quit your day job and devote yourself entirely to doing custom knife mods! :wink: )
