These are gorgeous Jon!I always like before and after photos. Here’s the goods. I like waterfall, but these were being very cantankerous. Glenn added a line to the Lamb’s bolster. My eyes say…ahh…stag and a lined bolster are nice friends.

I could have, but Glenn happened to have what I wanted in his shop. Love it when it works out like thatBeautiful recovers. Did you supply the scale material for the knives?
Jon that looks fantastic.My first GEC was an elderberry 92 given to me by my Father in law on Christmas 2019. It’s a very sentimental knife, but to be honest, I’ve never loved the jigging and it wasn’t getting carried. I decided to ask Glenn to swap out the covers with these from Culpepper. He did an awesome job as always. I like these much better and the knife is still in the same ballpark aesthetically as the original gift. Thanks Glenn!

I’m in a little bit of a hurry and will get better photos for this thread later.

Here's an 881Y that was sitting in my project bin. The yellow covers had either gassed or had been removed at some point. Additionally, the blades had either been exposed to outgassing or moisture/water at some point, as there was some spots of deep corrosion on all of the blades. Still, the blades were pretty much full, so I thought I would do my best to make it useable again. I picked some nice dyed stag that I made some time back, and also added a federal shield. It's not mint by any standard, but it is a survivor...

I have often wondered what criteria you use when deciding to bring a knife back from the dead,it has to be somewhat mind boggling with so many great beatup specimens to choose from.it would be kind of cool to lay out on the table some past beauties that have seen better days and see what the members would choose and in what covers,and then put your skills to work,obviously you will be faced with a dilemma of what to do with the knife when finished,this is where I can help by purchasing the knife and thus eliminating the dilemma,it's the least I could do.Here's an 881Y that was sitting in my project bin.
