Well that is just outstanding!!! Fantastic job my friend. Very impressive.Thanks Dwight. A good friend gave me a bag of knife parts. In it I found the Keen Kutter barlow frame and a sheepfoot blade from a different Keen Kutter. I had the bocote and a desire to try a rebuild, including some file work. With my friend's coaching this was the result. Not perfect but I had fun and learned quite a bit.
Dwight, you're very kind. My photo skills are slightly better than my rebuild skills. That may account for at least some of the "impressive look", but thanks for noticing.Well that is just outstanding!!! Fantastic job my friend. Very impressive.
I agree with Dwight on this one... that looks fantastic! Incredible work all around, and you ended up with a great piece and a story to match! Well done!Thanks Dwight.
