All About Pocket Knives

I have to appologise to Glenn about being so slow posting this and pics. I have been having computer issues. I seem to have them worked out for now...so here goes.

I like the Texas ToothPick style fish knife. And being a Colorado boy, I also like Western knives. I located a Western Fish knife that had an over sharpened main blade, this model came with a hook sharpener imbedded in the scale..on this knife it was chipped and cracked. I looked long and hard and found another one that had a good main blade and the scales were cracked...the hook sharpener was heavely worn. The scales on both knives were yellow celluloid and not in great shape. I have pics that are in a different location, so I will try to add the before pics tomorrow when I get the thumbdrive from work. The before pics are helpful in seeing what Glenn had to work with...but the important pics are these.

I have to tell you that this was a sentimental project. The scales are eboney and the inlayed badge adds a huge touch of class. My first ever pocket knife was a Texas ToothPick style fish knife. Having a Western refinished like this....well it is beyond words.

The craftsmanship is second to none and it turned out better than I could have imagined. Glenn combined the 2 knives and added the eboney scales and badge inlay...it is perfect.

Glenn I can't thank you enough. It is my new favorite knife!

Great work as always Glenn

I can see how that would be your knew favorite knife Bloodhound

Ebony always adds a nice touch to most any old knife you put it on.
Glenn did a nice job of making one knife from 2 parts knives, and his usual excellent work.
Your knife has the Glennbad Touch, and that is a good thing!



Nice job Glenn!

Congratulations Bloodhound.

Well done Glenn.

I wish my photography skills were better...because the knife is so nice the pics don't do it justice

Very nice!

Great work Glenn. Love that shield combined with the ebony. Very nice!

Scott,

Thank you, and everyone else, for the kind words. You were more than patient waiting for this project, and gave me a lot of room to choose what to work with. Here is what I was sent...


I enjoyed this project because I was able to decide which parts to use, and it was the first fish knife I did a complete takedown on.

Glenn

Thanks for posting the before pics. and your after pic...that is almost as good as it looks in person

As I said this was a sentimental project and it is now even more so. This knife is better even that I imagined.

thank you Glenn

Good to see such attention to detail. Very nice knife!

Glenn your abilities keep growing by leaps and bounds.

Once again I'm impressed.

Glenn, you have done it again. Really amazing work from 2 donor fish knives.

Thanks!
