All About Pocket Knives

A while back I got a Viking Jumbo Jack in bad need of restoration.

Here some of the before pics, (yes I actually remembered to take some before pics)!
There was LOTS od rust and pitting- The rear bolsters are just crimped up pieces of the steel liners so they are hollow. In spite if the pitting to this knife I just felt it needed to be rescued and restored.
Here is what it looks like now-
It is old, beat up, has the scars to prove it and lots of attitude, and it just sort of fits me.
And at 4-3/8" it is a fist full of CUT! This one is definately gonna' get some pocket time.

Very nice work Dale! The blade etching is a cool detail.

Dale, you certainly do some fine work. Keep up your rescue mission. The old ones are fading fast.

Definitely worth the time and effort, Dale! Is that corn cob jig? Great pattern, but needs a big knife like that to work.

nice one, let us know how it cuts!

Thanks guys.

Yes Glenn, it is corn cob jigging and amber color. I am having a lot of trouble getting true color with me pics since the rain started. It really has more color than it shows in the pics.

I haven't given it any real cutting challenges yet, but you know the feel of good old carbon steel?
These blades have that feel.

All I can say is "Wow!"
