Old Beat Up Kutmaster

[Jeffinn]

I bought two of these off of E-Bay. I did one previously and decided to do this one in some red smooth bone that I had in my box. The knife was in okay shape with some minor pitting and rust on the blades;

Here it is disassembled:

Bone scales epoxied and clamped in place:

The color match seems a bit off but since I already glued them in place we'll go with them and see how it finishes out:

Handles polished and partially finished. The color still seems off but since I'm not looking to sell it, it'll be okay for the shelf:

Here's the knife during the trial fitting with some pins installed to hold it all together:

And here's the finished knife. There's appears to be a few minor scratches on the bezel that'll need to be re-polished, but its not too bad:

Jeffinn, that is some great color in those handles. You're getting into this. I enjoy watching the progress of your knives and the progress of their rehabber.

Wow, that turned out really nice.

Jeffinn that is some pretty bone and a fine job rehabilitating that fine ole Kutmaster Barlow. Way to go my friend. I give you two thumbs up!

I like that red , it sets it off.

Great looking mod, love the red bone!

I'd be happy to have that! It came out very nice...and like the others have said, the red is sweet!!!

[Jeffinn]

Thanks everyone. The red turned out nicer than I thought it would.
