All About Pocket Knives

A GEC #73 Scout I just finished recently with some very well matched elk stag. Pinned of course

Nice, Kaleb.

Is that a customer's knife or is it going in your store?

thanks

that is 1 of 4 knives I recently did for a customer.

Very nice Kaleb!

Beautiful work Kaleb! I love elk.

MM - Great work as always. I haven't been too active this summer, but now that it's winter my work is slowing down and I have some great spare time.

Wondering if you are using a pin spinner, or just peening and polishing those pins? I haven't used any bone yet, but since I cracked the last couple of wood scales I put on - I'm thinking maybe pin spinning is the way to go?

Cheers,
Jaye

Thanks everyone

Nice to see you back Jaye! I hand peen all my pins, never had much luck with spinners, a little polishing on a properly peened pin will give a nice smooth even head. some knives I do flush fit peens on where the handles are very smooth, like wood, ivory ect.

Hey Kaleb,

You were walking in your sleep on that last post. 02:45? Of course it was New Year's Eve. I think Bryan may have a clock problem. Where did you get the picture of the Muskrat? I'm looking forward to my box of knives from you. My son told me about this forum.

BigDonDon

yeah, clock problem :p

that pic was in the AAPK group of avatar pics, it's a groundhog though, not a muskrat

thanks everyone

Kaleb,
Well at least it isn't a pic of a nuteria. Basically nuteria are South American water rats. They were brought up here for fur, but they don't trap them any more.

Here is a pic of a nuteria & a muskrat. Maybe you can have a real muskrat for a avatar.

I think the muskrat is a much better looking animal than the nuteria. The nuteria are a real nusance where I live.

Happy New Year,
Dale

thanks Dale, better than a groundhog

Better than a nuteria too!

Actually I thought it was a good pic of a muskrat.
