All About Pocket Knives

This is a single blade EDC I made from Schrade parts. I used the frame of a Schrade 897UH that had 2 broken blades and a new 893 carbon steel blade.
I put bone handles on it and one of my new shields.
A HUGE THANK YOU to Ken (Paladin51) for all the leg work in having the shields made for me. I did this knife for myself and I installed the shield it in a hurry. In the pics it looks like the shield is a bit crooked, but I didn't notice it until I looked at the pics. Oh well, it now resides in my pocket.

I now have the Oregon shield available for custom orders.
I am hoping to have ORVET etched on the shields either by electro chem etch or have them laser etched.

I know the pics are not the greatest, but it was pouring rain here today and I have to take the pics indoors.
I hope you enjoy the pics.

Dale...that looks badass. That shield looks awesome and glad u are happy with them. Your work continues to amaze me. Great looking knife.

VERY COOL,DALE

That's got a nice pocket-worn look to it. I never carried one of my own knives until the past few months. Now I have like 3 or 4 of them, and I am really enjoying them. It's nice to do something for yourself every now and then.

Great work, Dale!

Very nice!

Absolutely love those handles and the shield is distinctive.

Great job Dale, I really like your custom shield.

Great lookin' knife! Would be a great EDC. One of my most prized knives has the same stamp on the bolster as this one has on the blade .
Thanks again, Dale.

Dale, does that etching process work well on brass, such as liners?

Thanks guys, I am glad you like it.

Not so well, at least not with the solution I have. I have tried it and was disappointed with the results.
The shields I got are stainless steel so they will etch OK, but brass and nickel silver are more difficult to etch. If it is possible to etch brass & n/s I think it would take a different etching solution than the one I use on steel.

I really like the work you did on the bone, Dale! Very nice.

Now that's a beauty Dale! The shield looks awesome with that bone

Very,nice.....great job!

Great outcome, Dale! Maybe I'll get to see that beauty in person soon?
