Project 119

[Billabong01]

I did this knife at the same time as the 603.
This blade was given to me by zanussi01,His instructions were, "Hey kiddo,see what you can do with this."
Yes this blade is S30v,and yes it is hard to file by hand,ask me how I know!
All the bits for the rebuild.

Cutting in of finger guard,sides and thumb ramp.

Getting there slowly,no rush.

Final polish,great feel in the hand,looks okay as well.

Original sheath,ready to go.

Last photo,603 and 119 together. Ready for the hunt!

Top Shelf Kiddo!!

Great work.

I love the classic iconic no BS look of the 100 series, but the beautiful blades kind of deserve more and certainly dress up really well.

 

[Billabong01]

Thanks everyone for the kind words and likes.

Thanks also to zanussi01 for his patience and persistence while doing these.
Also for the 119 blade blank,hope I did okay with it!

Yes they do show a passing likeness to Randalls.
I blame zanussi01 for this influence on me,but I dont see this as a bad thing at all.

Wow... the 119 is a real knockout, both knives have very clean and classic lines.
