Colonial Electrician's mod
Posted: Fri Jul 05, 2024 12:34 am
I started this knife a couple of years ago, and decided to finish it today.
It began as a rusty Colonial Electrician's knife, and I made bolsters for it and dressed it up in Culpeppers Smooth Sunset bone.
Just as I had nearly finished with it, I reprofiled the blade into something approaching a Wharncliffe on a whim.
I don't remember why the pins are so embarrassingly large, but it makes the knife look clunky to me.
I had once had a Klein that I redid with Smooth Sunset handles and a Sheepsfoot main, and I loved that knife and missed it after it was lost.
This knife does not look nearly as good as the first, but may still be a decent user.
