Happy New Year to you too James, I'm gonna be working more stacked leather in this year. Gonna have to work in some Serrano's, I get a lot of requests for them. The kids are still tooling leather and forging when they can and are getting pretty good.

Better throw some more stacked leather in while I'm here. Bronze, Blackwood and leather, my favorite materials, especially when they're together.

I replaced a stacked handle on an old Marbles. Ain't pretty, but she'll do.

Looks fine to me. At least you tried - I didn’t even attempt it on mine:

This was the condition of my late brother’s Western scout knife when I found it:

I thought I had restored it pretty well:

Unfortunately the stacked leather handle was too rotten to withstand use, and fell to pieces. I just now finished making a replacement handle from black locust. Excuse the poor quality indoor pictures:

Excellent! I've seen restorations of those old Western washers, but man is it complicated. Yours is still useable, so I deem it a success.

Jim, it's extremely lightweight and handy, and the Russian steel is very similar to BG-42; very excellent stainless steel, takes a razor edge and holds it.
 
A couple Marble's -- an Expert (with blade finished from remaining inventory of vintage blanks after Lauerman acquisition), along with its substantially bigger brother, a Loveless Trailknife...

Stacked leather has been a favorite since the first time picked up this Randall below as a little kid.

Robeson, Schrade, Randall, Schrade.

Check out this handle on the new to me Schrade. Fits like a glove! I've wanted one of these 49ers since the first time I saw one.

This last one.... Yes it's a RR but it's an absolute tragedy. The size, shape, design, almost everything about it is fantastic. The blade is total junk. Pakistan steel, terrible grind, poor HT. I might use it as a pattern to make one just like it that doesn't suck.
