Schrade-Walden H-15 drop point?!

[pinnah]

Lovers of original knives, collectors and people with stronger scruples should hit the back button now.

I've had the following H-15 for a bit. Love the knife for in the woods. I generally don't care for clip points though.

You know where this going probably. If it bothers you, clear out before you look.

While you're thinking about it, you can an office mate who gave me a book about Bob Loveless. I'm liking me that drop point line.

I have files in my shop. And curiousity.

Here's the result. Note, the recurve is most a visual trick due to the patina pattern.

I'm not entirely sure the curve is where I want it yet. I have time. And files.

Thanks for looking.

Looks like fine work pinnah!
I love the shape of the blade...not sure about the handle with that blade though, something looks out of proportion, but maybe it's just the photos...I'll look at some more

Yeah, the handle almost looks too big for the new blade shape. The reprofile looks factory to me, though. Nice job!

Thanks for the comments guys.

Yes, the handle is big. In person, it dwarfed the blade as original, at least to my Case owning eyes.

But, my hands are big and this handle fills it. Useful when cutting wood with heavy pressure. Very comfortable to hold. But not a dainty little flower of a knife, to be sure.

I like it Pinnah :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup: I almost turned back per your instructions/warning.

Glad I didn't
