All About Pocket Knives

I got a few of these 125OT's in recently so I've been cleaning them up as time allows. Seems like I'm still a few weeks behind on everything.
I gave this one some mahogany jigged bone handles and a new Schrade factory blade. I ended up with a tiny gap at the one corner where the bone meets the bolster on one side . I tried my hand at electro chemical etching and put my new makers mark on the blade. (I've got a few other marks in the works but this one will work for now). There's the option to etch in deep black or simple grey (a/c or d/c). This one is grey (but I've tried the black etch and like that as well). Its a fairly crisp etch but the photo makes it look less defined. Thanks for looking!

Nice Jeff . The etching looks good to me . Nice and sharp !

Yes that etching looks good, the whole refurbish looks beautiful.

I like the etch! The knife is pretty darn nice also!

I only wish your pictures were a little lighter, so I could see your work better.

Nice work Jeff....

I love the color of that mahogany bone. That last knife I did was mahogany. Great color!

Beautiful knife! well done!

Yep, I have to agree with Glenn.... you and I need to learn how to make pics that show that beautiful detail.

Yeah, the interior light box sometimes has a darkening effect on the photos. Here's a few taken outdoors: Thanks.

Yes!
Great pics! That bone color is SWEET!

Very nice!

It's been said, and I agree .

Great work on a great pattern! Not crazy about anyone's etches.

There we go, now I can really see how nice it is!

Man Jeff,
That is one beautiful knife. I always have liked the 125ot. But the bone makes it outstanding. I think the etch really adds to the whole knife.

Gorgeous Jeff, really like that bone and the re-assembly is spot on. Great stuff, thanks for showing it, that's a real beauty now. Wowwie.

Wow, that is a beauty!

Thanks everyone. I appreciate the comments.
