Thanksgiving project

[orvet]

We had a quiet Thanksgiving, the grandkids did not show up until this evening.
I had bought this little Gerber FS-1 from Scott (TripleF) on ebay with a lot of pocket dings and broken rosewood inlays.
I decided I would replace the wood with some thin slices of water buffalo horn.
The project was far easier than I thought it would be, a nice afternoon project.

Here are the before pics as Scott posted them on ebay:

I will probably do some more finish work on it, but I have carried it today and really like it, and it fits nice and flat in the watch pocket of my jeans.

It is not without a few flaws & I will probably do a higher polished finish on it eventually, but it is a nice working tool, and enjoyable to use.

Hope you enjoy the pics.

Thanks guys,
I have been carrying it for 3 days now in the watch pocket of my jeans.
The slim profile is so nice I don't know it is there until I reach for it.

Look as good as new. I wish all projects only took an afternoon...

Very nice Dale. I always liked the looks of those Gerbers, and that's a dandy one now for sure.
