Sam,

Just an update for you. You mentioned fixing the dings on my 85 after I dropped it. Well, I killed two birds with one stone. After the drop it had blade play that I didn't notice at first. I tried my hand at my first peening ever, unguided...I was nervous at first. It was a little more then the picture shows, but not too shabby for a first attempt! It is now perfecto!

Can't beat a user that you really can work on

Nice pictures and no wonder you did such a good job, those ball peen hammers looks super nice.

Wow! That is brave, I've peened the end of a billhook handle but that's meant to look as rough as a duck's proverbial. Never anything as delicate as that. Not wishing to hijack the thread would you mind emailing me details on how you got the finish back once you had finished peening (buffing etc...)? I've gently squeezed the bolsters on loose knives but been left with the pivot pin showing and things would return back to looseness with time so peening is obviously the answer.

Good job!

Sam

Thanks guys! All I know is the hammers are part of a much larger set that my grandpa left me. He had a full metal working and woodworking shop and even made jewelry

I could only hope to end up with as much skill as he had in his pinky.

Sam, email in a few

Thanks, and don't worry, I have no pride or ego with this kind of stuff. If I would have goobered it up I would have let you know

Man that thing looks good! I want one of those so bad. Well done, sir. Those pictures are fantastic!

CB-R,

I have never seen any green ones, especially with a sheepsfoot and easy open. That thing is perfect!

I finally got my 309 the way I like it after about an hour on the DMT hones. I'm torn between it and my Peanuts, I didn't like it much at first but it's grown on me.

 

[CB-R]

Thanks, Richstag! About 1/2 an hour, a belt sander, a half round file, and anyone can have one!

Awesome work!!
