Thought you guys might be interested in this little project with a Knife World Cripple Creek trapper that I traded from SunnyD. The before pic is here:

The old girl was kinda tired when I received her so she took a trip "Down Under" to receive a "fluff and buff" from Dirk Potgieter (aka "OUPA"). I think Dirk did a fantastic job breathing new life into her... Aside from the trama of sending her out of the country (the PO spent more time instructing me on the procedures for filing for a "lost mail" document than they did in processing the package for shipping), the whole project was most enjoyable. Dirk kept me informed , with pictures, of his every step, and the whole thing took less than a month, including shipping time, to complete...the cost was REALLY nominal. OUPA rocks!!!:D
 
revmic is da man for taking on this project!. Dirk did a really fine job here for him. The scales are especially beautiful IMO. With revmics permission, I would like to show you guys the before and after photo's for the full effect.

Those knives are close to having "legendary" status IMO.
It was great to work with Mike, who wanted to preserve and enhance the original character of the knife.
I feel we achieved that.
