Complete. Nothing more in the works at the moment although I did recently acquire another lifting belt, so, who knows

Lots of beauty in this thread, thanks for sharing everybody!

Here's one I just finished up tonight. It started with cheesy cracked plastic handles. Now it's nice and stacked

Stacked leather is my latest passion. It goes nicely with my older one: for carbon steel blades. Here is one of the recent projects: when you do not get it in leather, convert it!
First a few pictures "before":

And now after. It is a German "Baron" brand, a monster of a knife by my humble standards:

Here is another one, I have shown it here in another thread earlier. That is fixing a RH 36 knife (it did not have any markings though)
So here are a few pictures "before":

I must say I felt an urge to wash my hands every time after I touched the knife. So all the nice semi-organic "patina" had to go!

And here is one after:

The blade will eventually oxidize so all that traces of pitting corrosion will be less prominent.

Stacked leather is my first love for fixed blade handles. It becomes richer looking with use.

Cool, Ed. I'd not seen a 119 dressed up like that before.

 

[Modoc ED]

Cool, Ed. I'd not seen a 119 dressed up like that before.

Thanks Frank. It's a new model out from Buck. To be honest, I really don't have a use for it but it's just one of those things I like to have on hand, if for nothing else, the coolness factor.
