Modified Production Knives (traditional only)

After seeing Pinnah's pics, I'm tempted to drop the tip of my old Mora a little.

 
Thanks for kind words guys. I really appreciate it.

Jack, not all blades have dropped nicely for me. I dropped the tip of a well used Opinel #8 a few years ago. It had been sharpened enough that it didn't have much belly left and once it was dropped... I dunno... it just didn't work.

Since then, I've taken to cutting out paper to a curve or marking up a blade with magic marker to get a sense of what it will look like dropped before I reach for my files.

On the other hand, they're only knives and are all (mostly) replaceable.

Yes, I see what you're saying. In this case it's certainly not something I'd do lightly, but of course it's an irreversible process. Thanks a lot for the advice :thumbup:
 
Here's a Case Slimline Trapper I worked on a little. I jigged the delrin handles, They were sold brown delrin it looked awful..lol. I put a belt finish
on the hardware, bolsters and hit the blade as well. I rounded the edges off the delrin as well. Fun little project.. Thoughts?

Jigging looks factory, great job. Any before pics for comparison?
 
That looks great Jason!! I wouldn't have suspected it was modified at all :thumbup:
 
I doesn't look modified, so I count that as a great job. :thumbup: :thumbup:

Thanks for the great comments folks, I really like old bone and enjoy it on my knives and just looking at
pic's of it as well. It was fun to work on. Thanks again

Josh , what did you to to the knife? Filework on the bolsters, Patina?

Either way, looks great!
 
Been a while since I posted any mods in here. Here's a couple I finished awhile back...

LF&C with ebony and new shield.




Boker razor jack with cream soda Catalina (I think) and acorn shield




Bulldog proto in smooth Amber




Queen single in Mahogany





Of course, the Schmelzer I did for Mykel...




LB7 in Amber stag bone




Camillus 72 in MOP




A Camillus 72 in green bone




And a Queen TL29 in ebony

 
Great work :thumbup: Love that Camillus 72 in MOP :)

Wasn't there talk about a Belgian clasp knife...? ;)
 
Um, that is awesome!!! Love the belt finish too.
