All About Pocket Knives

So I picked up this corliss cut co. pen knife up a while back when weather was still fit for flea markets. Both handles were cracked all the way accross at the center pin, but for $2 I just couldn't pass it up. Both blades snapped good with half stops and everything like that. I wanted to leave the pearl, and keep it origional as possible. I know quite a few of these pearl knives had cigar bands, so I figured- "why not this one". Some patience, 99.9% silver scrap from a forged out coin (jewelery project),and an hour or so at midnight last night. I was looking at this. Whattaya think?
This pearl is gorgeous in real life, the pic dosen't catch all the colors.

Nice work and darn nice knife to boot. Great way to rescue an old knife with pearl scales. Great alternative to just putting on new scales, I like it the way it the way you did it.

I think that is beautiful. The silver band is pure class on a pearl-handled knife. Great work

I see the bolster pin holes are gone too.

Nice thinking MM. I would call this one UNIQUE

thanks all I thought you might enjoy it.
