GEC 43….. had a cracked cover…. Made new liners, trued up the action and recovered with vintage linen Micarta and bird eye pivots.

Oh my! That is really nice. Love the patina on the blade and the work on the covers is flawless. Beautiful knife and great rebuild.

Awesome work! I like everything about what you did, including leaving the patina on the blade alone. Those birdseye pivots and the vintage micarta look terrific. ::tu:: ::tu::
