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.

I'll echo everybody else, James. Fantastic!

If I could have seen into Queen's future, I'd have bought up a bunch more of that run of cocobolo!

Happy Wooden Wednesday.

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!

I'll echo everybody else, James. Fantastic!

Very cool!

Thanks all! I'm enjoying the knife and your kudos.

Thanks, r8shell, I wish I had done that too! The two I have are very well made.

This cocobolo has aged nicely. Darkening considerable and taking on a purple-ish hue very slowly over the years. I loved it when it was new and appreciate it more with each passing year. One of the "gotta hold on to this one" in my collector's pile.
