The famed porch generosity has struck again, and I am the very very lucky recipient of it. A certain gentleman we know as Glenn, who has the talent of making old used knives into exquisite pocket jewelry. I was not expecting this, so it was an especial sweet surprise from the porch.
Glenn reworked two older Schrade's into beautiful pieces. A small stockman, the 34OT, and the small dogleg jack that to me is very peanut like in size and feel. When I say that Glenn reworked them, I ma being very under stated.
He replaced the delrin scales with stag, but not just any stag. You know that old style stag that you see on the very old pocket knives from Sheffield and Solingen products? The stuff that is almost all bark with very little or no white showing? Thats what glenn did here. He made these two, dare I say mundane working knives into something that looks like they came out of Sheffield in the heyday. I've GOT to go get a camera to post these little beauties.
For the past few years I've been carrying a very old beat up Buck 303 cadet from the 1970's, and it looks like it. I've always had a very soft spot in my heart for the stockman, and this 34OT will be put into service immediately, for our California trip we leave on in a few days. There will be some fishing done up in the Sierra Nevada's for Golden trout, and the thin ground Schrade blades will make short work of a fish belly.
As for the little dogleg, I know I have a reputation for loving the coin pocket/peanut size pocket knife, and this one will be no exception. It will be replaced being in the near future my old Boker 240 pen and very old Christy knife.
Glenn, your surprise gift has blown me away with both the generosity and the demonstration of your knife making skills. I will say thank you, even though those words seem to be totally inadequate for the occasion.
Thank you!!!!!!!
Carl.

Well done Glenn, you're a gent, and a skilled one at that 
!! Ok, terrible joke but a very cool looking couple of knives that just beg to be carried and used. Glenn, as always, very exceptional looking!
