Glennbad is a baaaad man

The Case that shoulda been! And now IS!!
Nice work, Glenn!!
 
Here's one I recently finished. Someone sent me this old Miller Bros., as you can see the bone is in bad shape on this side...






I was asked to put some nice stag covers on it. Great old knife...it was a little beat up and rusty inside, I cleaned it up some without removing too much of its' original character. The knife was a little loose, I was able to tighten up the action a bit.

It's pretty serviceable now, should make a nice carry. I like the original look of the bone, but the stag doesn't look too bad either...



 
Glenn, that's a great job buddy!! I don't know, that stag looks pretty incredible and doesn't take away from the old look.
 
That really is some good-looking stag and it looks original to the knife. Very well done, Glenn!
 
Glenn, you've got a knack my friend...you picked the best option for covers and yet kept the integrity of the knife...stellar work as always:thumbup::cool:
 
Here's a few I recently finished.

These first 2 were Case Carhartts. The customer wanted a more traditional look so, we did some ebony with shields. Here are some before and after pics...



















This next one is a Schrade 195 pattern. The cell/plastic covers were junky, so I replaced them with some coolibah I had on hand.






 
I am very interested in getting a few knives reworked by you! How do I get in touch? Thanks in advance!
 
Glennbad, my dad gave me his old Kingston (K-330 I think). I would like to talk to you about it. Thanks
 
I'll say!:D:thumbup:

My very first GEC in 2007, far back in the mists of time...was a 2006 GEC stainless 73 'Scout' in what I think was called Sheffield jigged bone. I clearly remember opening the package it came in from the USA in a cafe and being mesmerized by the quality and beauty of the knife compared to many of my other ones . After initial slobberings and jibbering I calmed down a bit and cast a more balanced eye over the knife. Fine appearance and good quality (spring a bit raised in open which began to irk me more) killer springs too but the 2 blade knife was too much weight and thickness for me, so it got carried little but admired a lot. Couple of years pass. I contact GEC to ask them to remove the second Skinner blade at my cost obviously. They point blank refuse and say it would create a unique knife (the run was about 200 on this knife, not like these days! :D) Disappointed to put it politely..:confused: I again turn the knife aside. Contacted a couple of craftsmen but both told me removing a blade was very risky&likely to cause the bone to crack. Now, the bone I particularly like and given the lack of single blade 73s in stainless, I again shelved the idea.

Then I contacted Glenn...he told me there was risk but he'd look into it. He has pulled off a masterstroke! Now I can USE the knife, it's vastly better as a single and he did a fantastic job on the pins (GEC can learn a bit from him frankly) sharp snap, no play or any issues, I cannot be more pleased as it's like getting the knife all over again but better to the power 10. Thank you Glenn, you have excellent skill, I am really happy.

Please note these are very small Pears from my Arctic garden, not the usual size:D:eek: About to be made into jam.
 
Thanks for sharing the pic, Will. Now I see the knife it its whole glare. Thanks for sharing. Glenn made a great knife out of a good one. :)

Oh... the pears would make a wonderful addition to the applewine that is usually made here in Germany / Austria in this time of the year. (Pretty mean and sneaky stuff if you try too much of it :o )
