freebie knife reworked, hopefully improved

[jskeen]

A friend literally found this lying on the side of a jogging path a while back, and gave it to me because he thought "I was into knives" I've probably made a hundred or so custom knives, forged, ground, folders, fixed blades, whatever.

Anyway, it was in kinda sad shape, although not a bad knife. It's a gerber freeman folder. Not that crazy about the gut hook, but at least it wasn't a serrated blade. The lacquered pear wood handle was in pretty sad shape. I disassembled and cleaned it, put it back together and made a new set of slabs from the lower section of a Gemsbok horn I had laying around, that was too big for a call and too thin for pens.

I think it looks better, how about you?

very nice - I see you left the Gembok horn quite rough, I like that. Nice bit of work shaping those handles too.

I usually refer to weapons lying on the ground as "evidence". But I digress. You did a great job on it! Looks really good.

Yeah, I'd say that's quite an improvement. Great job!
