Another Bruckmann

Post by glennbad »

I really enjoy working on these. The snap is usually great on them, and most that I've found are in good shape. I set myself up for a challenge with this and used some really awkwardly uneven stag. Here's a before and after...

I've been enjoying leaving the stag rough in some spots, not finely sanded.

:shock: Absolutely STUNNING!!! ::woot::

That stag is simply gorgeous, the color, texture, etc., good call on leaving some of it a bit rough...gives it incredible character.

Really nice, Glenn.

I've got a couple of Bruckmann folders that are original nice but they ain't that nice.

Great job Glenn, absolutely love the stag you picked. Love the gnarly uneven stuff like that. Congrats on another beautiful improvement X 10.

Thanks guys! I see a lot of craggy and unique stag used on german knives, so I thought this stuff would be fitting.
