47 pruner frankenknife

This one started out as leftover parts from 2 47 patterns. However the blade was special. The owner had modified the pruner blade down to a sheepsfoot. He passed a few years back from cancer. I held onto it all this time, but finally decided to finish it in some stag (of course). I really liked how it turned out.

Glen,
When I first saw this picture, "rugged looking" came to mind! That would be a great EDC. As always another beautiful job! ::tu::

Thanks everyone! That stag was actually a light red round that I had from somewhere. Didn't have a lot of character, but enough. I dyed it a little darker. I like the brownish color with the reddish tones underneath.

Duuuuuuuude, I couldn't tell it was dyed and yeah, it looks great with the color and reddish highlights. Gorgeous. And great job modding the stag. A+.
