In addition to the #18 Coyote in Osage Orange (which is perfect) , I added a Case Stockman in cv with ss punch to the order. Blade rub isn't anything I ever thought about until reading here, and it isn't something that's ever really bothered me. I imagine a lot of folks would send this one back. I can actually hear the tip of the punch scraping against the sheepsfoot! I decided to keep it as a "hard use" knife. It will pair well with the delicate little pocket scalpel in my watch pocket, and I'm just not worried about hurting it. (also, I already took a file to the kick to lower the sheepfoot
These all arrived this week...
I should probably take some time off from buying knives so I don't get in trouble with the wife.![]()
At least a week...![]()
Thanks. It's nice, I can now see why the Peanut has such a following.Nice.knives. I really like the Texas Jack, one of my favorites. You inspired me to drop one in my pocket today.
Also picked up an old rusty Camillus TL-29 at the flea market, modified the screwdriver blade and added some 'jigging' to the scales. I love the snappy backsprings on this one.

Thanks! This was practice before I tried it on my Case Soddie. This one turned out better imo.Nice work on the homemade jigging!

Yep, that's exactly what I did. I simply tried to imitate the pattern I liked on another knife, practiced a little on a piece of pvc first.Did you use a Dremel with a round carving bit on the Camillus? I may have to try that on one of my cheap Rough Riders.
