Agree.

I like both of your knives Nev.

One is a old barlow I rehandled with cherry wood.
The trapper was a knife kit I built and added oak scales I made from old fence boards.

Looking good! The next thing you know we'll be sending our knives to you for refurbishing and new handles.

Thank you all for your comments. I have a long way to go. But it is a fulfilling hobby so far.

Havin' fun with a Hen and Rooster stockman and some funky '67s.

Excellent work, really like the oak. Could you tell me on a rehandle job, not the kit, what you do with the old pins that were dinged up or messed with after removing the old scales? How do you get them, or new pins, back in order to accept the new scales and still have room for peening? And do you have a stiddy? Thanks for the tips if you have any. Great to see the work and finished product. You did great in my book. Keep it up and you'll have customers beating a path to your door.

Thanks's for your support on the projects. On the barlow I used epoxy on the scales. The original scales were plastic. no pins used. As for pins I purchased pin stock from jantz knife supply. As far as a stiddy no I do not have one. I have a 200 pound anvil I use for working on equipment.

Thank you, Phil.
Mixed feelings about it. Walk and talk on the clip is a bit soft. The blades show evidence of my lack of freehand skill on a stone, but she'll take a keen edge with my Lansky box.

All y'all carrying knives to be proud of!

David, garddogg you fellows are rocking it.!!!

Nothing unusual for me today. Excellent choices.

Thank you David and Floyd!

Thanks for the info big time. One more question if you don't mind. Do you solder the new pin stock to the liners or flair them out to fill a hold from the old ones or what? Thanks a bunch. Have always wondered how they do that. Thanks again.

Burlap Micarta/CPM-154

Love the burlap cody. About my favorite micarta period. Sweet knife.

Nice looking selection Bladesman!

Had to switch out my EDC's so I can show off my newest Hot Wheels.

Got out a few those "don't get out much" typ of knives this time. Great EDC's, they just get overlooked most of the time. Gonna try one clipped into my watch pocket today. See how I like that. Today's starting line up is a Case Trapper, Robi Klaas Kissing Crane Stockman, Imperial Pony Jack & I seem to have forgotten the 4th brand. China!

Oh, & a GTO. I'd love to have a car like this! Especially a convertable!
If anybody wants to send me one, please fill the glove box with pocket knives, the trunk with Pop-Tarts & the tank with gas. That would be fine. Thank you in advanced! I appreciate it!

Edit: OK, so don't worry about the gas, that's just asking too much. Sorry!

Thanks for looking friends!
Have a great Sunday & Stay Safe Friends!

I'm liking that Imperial Pony Jack. Certainly makes for a light carry.
