My latest creation

Post by glennbad »

I thought I had taken a before picture of the original knife, but I'll be darned if I can find it. Anyway, this one started out life as an Imperial camper/utility pattern. I slimmed it down into a single spring knife with a spear and punch.

The handle material is smooth hunter green bone from culpeper.

It's one of my favorite builds to date.

That is a beauty Glenn!
You are getting very good at this! ::tu:: ::tu::

I have avoided the Hunter Green, but I should have known it looks much different when it is worked!
VERY NICE work!

Awesome job Glenn - I love it when old things are given a new lease on life - I would be proud to carry a knife like this!

Thanks for the great comments, guys. This was a fun project to do, alot different than the usual TL-29s I've been doing. I'm not usually one for colors like that green, but got a good deal from culpepper on it.
