A recent project.

I finished this one up for a guy at 1 am, It is an 881Y, the blades were pitted and the yellow plastic handles were real dirty looking, so a little pinless ironwood and a little cleaning on the blades brought it back to life I think. Hope he likes it.

MM, I'm continually impressed by your ability (although by now I shouldn't be surprised anymore). Very Nice.

Beautiful workmanship. Can't see any pitting at all.

If you want some info on glue I highly recommend this thread in KnifeNetwork.
These guys went to a lot of time, effort, trouble & expense to test these glues and you get to read 18 pages of posts with test results.

The results will probably surprise you, I know they surprised me.
