This one was fun. The customer wanted something unique. I had some edge pieces of ivory, with flake and inclusions. The hafting exposed the inclusions.

I just want to say I put a special to me knife into the mail to Glenn today. My Grandfather entered the Navy just before WWII started and was stationed at Perl Harbor with my Grandmother and my Mom that was an infant at the time. They were there when Perl Harbor was attacked. This was the knife he was issued. He gave it to me when about 44 years ago I was maybe 14. He died when I was in college. Over the years the covers shrank and when I took it out earlier this week to take some photos for a friend they fell apart in my hands. Its going to be a number of months before Glenn works through his backlog to get to it but we can expect great "after" photos then. I am not in a rush and so its not a problem waiting for Glenn to work his magic!

Today when I went to the mailbox I found this

Glenn did an amazing job on my Grandfathers WWII knife! Just amazing! The junk cell phone picture does not give his work justice in any way. It has been a long trip for the knife, but its home again and will be passed down to future generations.
 
Hi Glen, great work! In another thread, someone suggested I reach out to you for some custom work. What's the best email address to reach you at? Look forward to talking to you!
 
Thanks, you can reach me at

I had intentions of waiting until all 3 knives that I sent off to Glenn to come back, but after receiving this first one, I cannot wait to show this one off! Glenn took this old Craftsman Barlow and did a masterful job re-wrapping it in deeply jigged Amber Bone. Thank you so much, Glenn!

Pictures like yours Shawn are why I sent my 15 SS to be rehandled by Glenn. I got a message today that it's in the mail to me. Can't wait.
 
Am I that obvious? Lol, yep it's stag. Based on the samples he showed me it should be fan-tas-tic.

Thanks, Steve! I am so pleased with it. I'm glad this one came first. I might have been a bit too overwhelmed if all three showed up at once!
