Had the pieces setting around for this build for a long time. I started with a electricians knife from Colonial.

This is just like the one I started with except this one has stainless steel blades. So I went from this.

To this!

I laid the screwdriver to rest by converting it to a wharncliff and laying it in this coffin jack. I'm playing with the finish trying to get a distressed coffin look to it. The liners and bolsters are one piece and made from aluminum. Handle material is Camellia wood that I have darkened. Its normally a very pale color.

It looks a little chunky from this view.

But when compared to the colonial TL-29 its about the same thickness and little shorter.

Thanks for looking!

Wow Randy!! Looks like a completely different knife. I think they might need to create a new category called "Knife Transformation"!!! Very nice work, and great pictures too!! Well done. ::nod::
