I was sent this Case Bose lockback hunter. The customer wanted some ironwood. Also wanted a different shield. Here's some before and after...

You took a knife that had little appeal to me and made it extremely appealing! The old jigged bone handles do not complement the knife, they distract from the looks of the knife. They look too "busy" if you know what I mean.
Your work with the iron wood changes everything and gives the knife nice clean lines. Much more aerodynamic, if you can apply that term to a folding knife.
I love the new look!

"Sleek" comes to mind.
