Very cool! Thanks for showing us how its done. I have been tempted a several times to try re-handling a knife just never seem to find the time to do it.

Being key. :thumbup:
But also, if anyone here has shaped and/or deburred anything with a belt sander and/or buffer they will appreciate the skill it takes to have a final product which is even and symmetrical enough to appear machined.

Gorgeous work Evan! I felt just like the post of George eating popcorn all the way through it. Informative and entertaining makes a wonderul thread. :thumbup:
Linus - That is one of a kind beauty!
The peanut and bullnose are incredible! Trevytrev was probably up all night drooling
I would be interested in a thread tutorial on how you dyed the bone Evan. May not be as entertaining as this one but maybe it could be included with the next.

This odd little fellow arrived at my door carrying a package from Florida. How he got here from the sunshine state riding ice skates, I do not know!
Inside the package he was carrying was nestled away a very special prize!
A highly modified bull nose! Sort of a collaboration between Evan and myself. I can't take much credit at all except for the bullocks shield idea which I thought fit the "bull" part of the knife's name, and the slightly pointier blade idea that Evan produced perfectly.
What beautiful ancient sea cow covers!
Thank you, thank you Evan for a fantastic giveaway! The work you did on this knife is of such a high level, I am very impressed!
:thumbup::thumbup:
Sorry for the poor pictures. My excuse is that it's very dark and rainy here today
I almost forgot..........Thanks Phillll for donating your bull nose!!!!!!

I love the new blade shape! It's no longer a bull nose, it's a . . . . Bowie Nose!

The astonishing thing being, this wee Peanut, in its appointments and coloration, is so very clearly, straight-up, straight-off mine:
The variegation and color values in the bone could not be better, with a satin finish that suits me to a T.
The whatever-we-chose bolsters and shield (nickel?), with brushed finish, add exactly the right finishing touches.
As wondrous as this Peanut is as a standalone, look how well it fits with my (other) Case mediterranean blue beauties:
All lit up:
Thanks so much, Evan!
