I need more pockets...

like, 30 pockets. I don't want any of my knives to feel left out :P

Originally, I was going to have two new additions to my family to post here, but one had a terrible accident (An old kutmaster electricians knife, stripped down to a single blade. I did not realize how warped the blade was until I put it into back into the frame. The blade was tempered on the hard side, so you can probably guess what happened. I was even being really careful ::shrug:: :( Oh well, I'll keep the frame for another day. you never know)

Anyways, the surviving knife was a worn and stained little Jigged Derlin 4 dot case 6202 1/2. I had some Smooth Elk antler lying around (none of that nice stuff like you guys seem to get) so I put a 400 grit finish on the blades, and popped on new handles. No file work here, just a simple thing. And for the record, that's not a pin crack. That's the only surface mark on the antler. There's another that runs down the other side. I wish there were more, I'd like the look of that ;)

I really like the "plain jane, but wearing a dress" kind of knives. ::nod::

Looking great Adam - sure wish I could get out into the shop more often.
