A Couple of Blade Deletes

Post by Fisher Cat »

Here are two blade deletes I've done. The first was a 125 year old (?) "The Hatch Cutlery Company" knife I got in a box of "project knives" from the late "Kootenay Joe." One blade was broken, the other was pretty badly chipped/chewed up, and a piece of bone scale was missing. The other was a "Rough Rider" Copperhead I broke while trying to center the blade. Both knives are remarkably "snappy" and I like them better in their new configuration. Thanks to all who have shared their knowledge on this forum! I would not have known where to start without your contributions! - John

Very nice job.

I recently did my first blade delete and am looking forward to a couple more. I appreciate seeing and reading about these knife mods.
