This Buck has unusual bolsters and was tough to fit, finally I choose a softer stone so I could work the curves by hand. I got pretty close and I like the black and white with the brass.

Thanks for looking.
John

That's some really good schist man! (memories of Cheech and Chong, sorry). Tell me you were making cabs or knife scales a long time before you bought the unit from Ken. I can't believe how nice your work is if you are a beginner.

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
