Glennbad is a baaaad man

Well, here is another spectacular example of Glenn’s craftsmanship!

I sent him an 88 Sowbelly with acrylic handles and a well used 93 Ramsfoot in micarta. I asked Glenn to make the 88 a single blade using the clip, replacing the acrylic with stag and a traditional corset shield. I then asked him to put the Lambsfoot blade into the 93 frame, flute the bezel, and replace the micarta with stag. It was a very interesting project. Glenn had to work some magic to have the 88 Lambsfoot blade work with the 93 frame, but he accomplished everything in spectacular fashion. The stag is high quality. This is the Sowbelly everyone wishes GEC had made. And the Lambsfoot works so well with stag. Glenn chose the perfect type of stag for each pattern.

I suggested to Glenn that he should start somehow placing his mark on the knives he has worked on. They are that good.

Thank you Glenn, glennbad

Always beyond impressed with his work that I see......And the endless possibilities

Good lord, has it been 6 months since the last post on this thread? I'll have to do something about that. I am just returning from my 1-2 month hiatus called the holiday season. I spent my first meaningful time back in the shop on Monday, it felt so foreign to be down there.

I finished up a project, and tinkered with some ongoing ones as well. Can't dive in head first, ya know. So anyway, the wheels of progress will start squealing again.



In the mean time here's one I had on the bench for awhile. I had picked up this lock-back Millers Bros this year, and it needed a spa day for sure. The covers were broken and repaired with something that looked like plaster. When I got it apart, I could see it need A LOT of TLC...






For the new covers, I settled on some old bone I had. Someone told me it may be old Presto bone or bone that Remington used on their switchblades. I do know that it is old stuff for sure, so those are good possibilities. Anyway, it worked out well and was similar to the original bone, so I think it was a good choice.

I got rid of the rust and kept all of the good stuff, here's the finished product...





Happy New Year to everyone!

Lot of work on that oldie Glenn, fantastic bone choice.

It's well worth the wait for Glenn's work Posting this one again as I'm so pleased with it and it's seen plenty of the inside of my pocket. I can't have a knife of the year as with me it's always year of the knife But I can certainly say it's one of the ones I like the most and it won't be for one year only either

I asked for the exposed pivot, French rustic style and it's brilliant.
