Ravishing, Radiant, Re-Covers.

A special knife I won in one of glennbad 's generous giveaways, with a blade originally modded by Bob BigBiscuit

I did this one in paper Micarta. Not quite on the same level as the rest of these, but my favorite that I’ve done.

I really dig the phenolic collars around the pins!

My friend @Reaper AL commissioned 6 Lambsfoot re-builds and re-covers from J jsdistin , after buying some inexpensive Sheffield Rosewood Lambs, which typically come with flaws. They were re-covered in Giraffe Bone, Appaloosa Bone, and African Blackwood, and @Reaper AL very kindly gifted me three of them J jsdistin did a great job

Those turned out so nice! That blackwood looks really classy.

Thank you. It is black canvas. First time I tried it and it worked out well.

Maybe you had that knife that was perfect... Except for the covers. Or maybe you had a sentimental material that you wanted to carry every day. Heck, maybe you were just bored and had an idea. Whatever the case, I've seen numerous knives posted here with utterly exquisite re-covers that have been masterfully done. More often than not, these superlative works of art have been created by members of our very own Porch.

I looked around and didn't see a thread dedicated solely to re-covers, so I thought this could be a place for us to post these gems from our collection.

I'll start it off with three wonderful re-covers performed by the skilled artisans here on BladeForums.

The first is a Case/Tony Bose Eureka Jack featuring 154-CM steel and Raffir stabilized mammoth ivory covers that have been painstakingly hafted to perfection by J jsdistin .

Next is a Solingen made Boker Barlow featuring integral stainless steel bolster/liners, a damascus blade forged by Chad Nichols out of a WW2 era M4 Sherman Tank, and more Raffir stabilized mammoth ivory. This time the immaculate work was performed by the esteemed glennbad .

And last, but most certainly not least, is a 2017 BladeForums TC Barlow produced by Great Eastern Cutlery featuring a 1095 steel blade, those famous bolsters, and some marvelous redwood burl covers I cut from a burl given to me by my brother, and stabilized by the pros at K&G. This outstanding work was also pulled off by the ever-talented glennbad .

So what've you got!?

WOW, those are jaw dropping!
