A Blem No More--113 is Back.

First it looked like this.

And now it looks like this.

I like it!

Very nice!

 

[Badhammer]

Very nice! Is that Koa wood?

 

[BG42EDGE]

Thanks.

Yes, out with the plywood.....in with the KOA.



One of our forum artists did his magic. Simple and elegant and shiny, with perfect fit and finish. I can't find a mark or imperfection anywhere on the knife.

That's a real nice looking knife :thumbup:

I'm glad you liked it! Thanks.

It's wood, brass and steel--old fashioned elegance and pure simplicity.

How could I not like it?

 

[RAZORBLADES]

It looks nice,better send it to me and i'll see how good the design is fir real.LOL

 

[BG42EDGE]

Hmmmmm.......I've seen that ploy used too often on this forum.

I think I'll do the testing myself.

That looks great, it's truely a one of a kind Buck

 

[edbeau]

very nice looking knife, BG. And a very good job, Eric!

 

[BG42EDGE]

Thanks to all.....I'm really glad I chose one with the Buck Custom Stamp to have this done.

Now it's truly a Buck Custom.

It makes me wish I had grabbed one of those blems now ...
I was worried about that FB on the blade.
That is a real classy looking knife now

Yeah, the blem comes off. The box still says blem, but it's kind of irrelevant now.

They still show up on the bay now and then, or at least they were a short time ago.

I don't think I'd do it with anything but a Custom stamped one.

That stamp adds a lot.

The koa goes very well with the brass. I'm not real familiar with koa other than I know it has a beautiful grain. Your piece especially though. That looks quartersawn? At any rate very tastefully done and looks great on the oak!

Thanks, I'd been wanting a 113 for a long time, but they were hard to get or too expensive.

When I saw the blem I just couldn't resist......and Ark did such a great job in fixing it.
