All About Pocket Knives

Not sure if I like it yet or not. I’ll leave it sit on the bench for a bit and see if it grows on me. If not, Ill just replace it with a plain Jane bolster.

IMO it looks good Jeff! I'm sure we all have different tastes but I for one think it looks good.

Looks like a good idea Jeff.
I bet it would look nice on a finished knife.

That would look good with a proud spun pin!

Ohhhhh... heck yeah!!
Good idea Glenn!

If you can do that..., the possibilities are almost unlimited. Wow, you could do all kinds of stuff. Of course this is just my theory.

Could ya make a flag? That would be kick ash!!!!!!!

I think it's gonna look good! Finish it!!!

I see nothing wrong with it Jeff, and a lot right with it. Looks very good.

I like it Jeffinn. It reminds me of the old Pacific Telesis, Pacific Bell logo.
Pictured below, scattered amongst these pins are Pacific Telesis, Pacific Bell pins. I think any of these would make a terrific shield. There are a few, plain and simple logo pins (look at the square, goldtone pins), to the bit more expressive pins. Which I'm sure that you could customize any way you see fit.

I'm with the others. I like it.

I also like it Jeff. But, I will be more certain when I get to see it on a finished knife. It does remind me a bit of the Union Jack (national flag of the United Kingdom).

I'm usually not a fan of embellished bolsters, but I really like this.

Yes, that’s a definite.
Jeff

I was thinking "sunburst," pretty cool.

Love the look! Man, that bolster would fit beautifully with a fileworked spring! I had first thought of filing the pin to match, but Glennbad's idea of a proud domed pin would be perfect! I believe that you have definitely found a way to make your work stand out from the crowd!

I like file work as long as it is not overdone( like jewelry and cologne).

Yours is good.

Very skillfully done, Jeff.
I applaud the creativity.
Don't stop now!

I agree.

Kinda late on this...but I really like that 'star burst' effect, or 'sun burst'. I hope you move forward on this project, Jeffin. Looks very nice.
