Custom Traditional Photos

[Peregrin]

Apologies on interjecting and hijacking this thread, but I noticed this is a mix of custom knives and knives people here have customized themselves. I'm interesting in seeing knives that people here have modded themselves, traditional of course. For example, cover material swaps, old decrepit knives that have been rebuilt, etc.

Is there a thread dedicated to this? Or, is there a better site to consume this type of media? I'm most interested in seeing restorations of old slipjoints. I'm "new" to the forum, and didn't have much success with searching.

Here's a thread that has been posted in recently, Modified Production Knives (traditional only)

Does he do hus own dyeing and jigging?

He did when he made mine. I’m sure he still does. Does everything by hand.

Here is my Don Southard collection at it's peak. I discovered Don's work in the last year, and absolutely fell in love. He digs up some cool old patterns for inspiration, and uses a lot of carbon steel, which is always a plus for me, and hard to find in customs. Don doesn't make a lot of knives, and I've started to feel like a bit of a hoarder lately, so I've recently let the Zulu and culpepper jigged Wharnchester go to new, loving homes.

And here's an open picture of my two favorites from the group. The cigar pattern is pretty much my ideal knife and in my pocket on most days. The small boys knife was inspired by an old Hibbard Spencer Bartlett & Co catalog and it's so unique, I just had to have it. 2 1/2" closed, but has shocked me with how useful of a tool it is!

Rounding out my current custom collection, probably the 'crown jewel', Tom Overeynder made Tony Bose Serpentine Trapper, in gorgeous stag. Tom's work has a reputation that speaks for itself. It's perfect in every way. Not a safe queen, I carry and use it often!
