A random 72 mod

Post by glennbad »

I decided to do this one for no particular reason. Bone is amber richmond. I left the blades as they came to me.

I put edges on all the blades, and will cary it for a bit.

Wow Glenn. That there is one of the prettiest 72's I've ever seen. Extra good job!

Another beauty Glenn. Love the texture on the jigging on that bone, fit and finish look outstanding as usual! ::tu::
Is that shield originally from a somewhat larger knife? It looks a little big in relation the the rest of the knife. Still looks mighty fine though.

Nice job Glenn (as usual)! ::tu::
I also like the choice of bone for the handle.
It really looks good and looks like it would give you a good grip.

Thanks guys. The shield is a new one I had, wanted to try it out on something. Better to try it on a random knife as opposed to some customer's project. It does look a tad big, but I'm warming up to it. ::tu::

That amber richmond really was a great choice for this. It looks like it could be stock, except for the shield.
