I shoulda taken pics to start.....I usually do.

This knife was GROADY. Looked like someone had cleaned a few hundred fish and then set the knife down in the garage for a few years. ::facepalm:: I wouldn't have bought it but did because I taw the blade stamp.

Sanded, and added a couple coats of boiled linseed oil! Here she is, ready for the prom!!

Nice job Scott. Do those Old Hickories go pretty well on eBay?

Looks good to me!! Nicely done!! I think the blade stamp says "Shur Edge" but can't make out the other.

It actually reads: TRU-EDGE ....along with Ontario Knife Co.

Yeah Jerry, they usually bring 10 to 20.....depending on size.

Looks good!

Now all you need is a mess of catfish, some cornmeal, and some hot peanut oil!

Fish fry at Scott's house!
