Glennbad is a baaaad man

[glennbad]

Thanks! In a bit of a departure, a customer wanted some micarta on a couple oldies. The first was a Western hunter...






The other was a Crown Cutlery EO.



Love the belly on that blade!

Glenn your work is outstanding- I am sooo happy with all the work you have done for me.

I had this 57 pattern, used but in decent shape. Had some pitting on the blades, but otherwise pretty clean. It had the green jigged bone covers, which weren't bad, but I thought a change of clothes would be good for it...

I suppose I could grind out the pits, but the knife will just be a user, so I'll try to give it a nice patina and move on.

This is simply a Masterpiece- I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS!!!!!
Stunning work Glenn - once again

That Western hunter is magnificent!

I got this beautiful pair with the plan of carrying one myself and keeping one for my son once he is older. As always beautiful work, just beautiful

Glenn did these for me a while back. Ebony and mammoth ivory camillus 70 cattle knives. They are unused and I enjoy having such a beautiful pair of cattle knives in my colllection. Good thing camillus made knives with those shrinky dink plastic handles, because they are perfect templates for doing this.

Those two Case Stags are just awesome!! Wonderful work!

Paul- two outright beauties there my friend- Great Work by Glenn!

Geez, has it really been August since the last post in this thread? That's sad. Truth be told, I had so many home projects and family stuff going on, shop time was on the back burner. That, and I got a little burnt out on mod work last year. I took some extra time through the holidays, worked on a few "me" projects, and am getting back in my groove again. Still backlogged yes, but still working on knives!

Here's some recent work...

This is a Bruckmann that the covers weren't great on, so I gave it the stag treatment.







Next is a TL-29 mod. The stag is not crazy, but it does have great character. You can see all the scratches and marks on it from its' former life.








Last is a little guy Joseph Rodgers. The old boring covers came off, on went the...you guessed it...stag.

Here's a few more



An 8OT in jigged amber bone








An old Utica with some new Bourbon jigged bone







A buck 110 in stag








And a couple Boker barlows, one in mossy green, the other in carved stag bone

Good to see your work again, Glenn. It is fabulous, as usual.

 

[Bubber]

Glenn your work is outstanding!

A few months back, I created a thread asking members of The Porch to help me choose a material to recover one of my two jigged bone GEC lambs in. Amongst the many great responses I received, the one that stood apart from the rest was from waynorth himself:

I'd love to see a nice Stag; if you MUST change them!!

The thread also contained some recommendations for our very own glennbad to do the work, most especially if I went with stag. I reached out, and even though Glenn wasn’t taking on much at the time, he was intrigued by the idea, and kindly decided to accept my recover request. After much hemming and hawing over which stag to choose, a set was selected, the lamb sent out, and the waiting began.

Well, I received the finished knife yesterday, and I’m absolutely blown away by the results!!! Glenn managed to capture the soul of the knife, a pattern with such rich origins, and create something that looks and feels like it belongs with the very knives which inspired Charlie’s design. I’m so grateful to own this heirloom quality piece, and I’m going to treasure it. Thank you to the members who recommended Glenn, to Charlie for giving us the first U.S. made lambfoot, (and your 'blessing' to recover this in stag! ), and to Glenn for using your incredible craft to make one of my favorite knives even more special.

Now the part you're all here for!

Wow! Charlie was right. If you're going to recover it, stag was the way to go. Not just any stag, but stag that looks like proper Golden Age of Sheffield stag, with the thin bark going all the way to the bolster. Great job!

 

[Campbellclanman]

Amazing work, Glenn as per usual my friend- OUTSTANDING work!

The Stag used on these Knives is absolutely gorgeous!

 

[TheChunk91]

I got these back from our friend Glenn yesterday. Just wonderful. When I get some new pants I don’t look much better, but put new pants on these knives and they really shine.



Highly figured and thin stag, like the cutlers of old!

 

[Signalprick]

Supreme work by Glenn on those!

 

[black mamba]

Magnificent stag, Paul.
