Well,

Not at the level of Kaleb or the other great knives shown on here, but this is my first make-over job. 10 minutes at a time for a couple of weeks. Took a 3 blade and made an EDC out of it for a Pastor.

Hope he likes it, it's certainly not perfect, but it should fit in a pocket and be just fine for everyday use. I left the blade unpolished because I liked the aging on the blade.

Paper micarta scales, nickel shield (from a dime), nickel pins and raised peened heads all around to give it some "feel". Lo res photo, but I think you get the idea.

not bad, not bad at all! Especially for a first attempt.The shield really adds to the knife aswell as the contrasting pins, great work. ::tu::
