It is an Eye Brand trapper that despite being fairly recent had begun the outgassing process. The scales were turning, fittings turned dark and some rust pitting had set in on the blades. I certainly see my imperfections and mistakes in the results. But I’m okay with it since I expected some rookie problems. I struggled with the hafting, the pin spinning and trying to clean the pits up. In the end I declared it “good enough“ and quit to prevent further errors. Sorry, no before pics because I was convinced I would never show it. But since my wife isn’t much of a knife audience, here it is.
My thanks to Bill DeShivs and Orvet for answering my questions.
