Frankenknife the sequel

Post by glennbad »

I had this vision in my mind of a cool pattern. This is probably not it though, LOL.

I think this started out from a utility (scout) pattern. Anyway, it's kind of ugly and nice at the same time. I had to alter the blade profile and butt of the knife for the new look. Add some decent stag and here we are! Should be a good knife to carry.

Amazing stag, very sweet knife, glenn. Looks like it would be good for cutting, tooling and cap lifting.

Beautiful work Glenn! I think that stag looks great on the Cammy. In fact, I don't remember seeing an knife that didn't look good in stag. ::tu:: ::tu::

With that stag on the handles a knife can't be ugly!
Another work of beauty Glenn!
