That is a beauty George, I have only seen them in smooth bone. Does that have a pile side pen?

Just beautiful. The old Imperials don't get the recognition they deserve.

If you made that from scratch Evan, it looks like you did a fantastic job! I would love to see more pics of it. Great work. :thumbup:

Thanks I agree! This old beater was my first, found at a flea market with a chip in the sheepsfoot, and a snapped off tip on the main. It cleaned up rather nicely, and is a solid knife, with near perfect walk and talk. The blades were ground nice and thin, and take a razor edge, and holds it quite well

Nice Imperial Duane :thumbup:

Thanks Jack

Evan that's beautiful. These pictures give you the right to puff out your chest and walk into a bar and say; "Pint o'dark boss"!

 

[Jack Black]

Great-looking knife Evan, well done - 'bout time you graduated! You've really made a lovely job of that, and I'm sure we'll be seeing lots more of your work - well I hope so :thumbup:

That's a swoony Barlow Pertinux - and a great pic :thumbup:

That's awesome! If I may ask, did you do the heat treats?

Was showing off my pipe this weekend that my cousin made me and realized it might be a good backdrop:

Thanks Paul and Jack! I am very excited to finally cross this threshold!

That's awesome! If I may ask, did you do the heat treats?

Thanks! That is the only thing I did not do. I sent them out to PHT for treatment, and they did an amazing job. The blade is 59-60 rockwell with the spring being 49 and the tang was also brought to 49 to prevent wear on the spring.

Awesome work, Evan! That's a real stunner! :thumbup:
