A Parker Farmers jack, what was he thinking????

[Pipeman]

As some of you know Lyle allowed me to buy a few of his wonderful farmers jacks, this Parker was in the bunch.
I honestly couldn't take the pink on a working knife like a farmers jack soooo,here's the outcome.
It'll make a good solid user. Ground out the jigging and the fatness, did about ten layers of feibngs dye in a couple of browns, filed the bolsters. I kind of like it.


Best regards

Nice job with the coloring.

what was he thinking????

Parker was probably thinking that he could trade these inexpensive shiny knives and a bag of fake diamonds for a collection of rare antique knives.
