154OT Custom Restoration
Posted: Sat Nov 01, 2014 6:33 am
About a year ago I had a customer who wanted a 154OT customized with stabilized cross grain Black Palm wood handles. Before I could find a suitable donor knife, he decided to go with a standard 154OT.
I had the Black Palm wood and a rather rusty old 154OT with oxidized Delrin handles and no sheath.
I did a little trading and got some Schrade sheaths that I use for the knife.
I put the Black Palm wood on for the handles and held them in place with mosaic pins. I used brass tubing to line the lanyard hole.
There's still a little pitting on the blade but it will make somebody a good user.
I just felt this old knife deserve to be put back into circulation.
Sorry, but I didn't get a before picture. I get excited when I start on a knife and usually forget to take before pictures.
