Before deciding to start working on razors, I make fixed blade knives and embellish factory made folding knives.
A case XX barlow I fixed up:


Customized Schrade 897UH:


Customized Buck 110:


Here are a few knives that I have made:




Enjoy, and I am welcome to any questions. I can post more if anyone is interested in seeing.

Great work I love the Cutlery very rustic design they look very Period.

I have a question How are the handles/scales attached on the first two the Case and Schrade if I may ask? I have never taken one apart.

[muskratman]

Thanks for the comments. The handles are attached with Devcon 2 part epoxy, the 5 min stuff works better for the folders, as it sets quickly before it can seep places you don;t want it to. The fixed blades are done with Devcon 2 ton epoxy.

Here are a few more.

Great work! How did you get the pattern on the nessmuk's blade?

[muskratman]

Easy, angle it just right and get the reflection of the brick wall behind it.

[FiReSTaRT]

Lol and I thought it was something totally new, that I haven't seen

Thanks for the info I use Devcon for backing semiprecious stones. as I do Silver Smithing. any way I was wondering how you remove the old handles.

[muskratman]

The old handles on pocket knives are pretty simple to remove (usually). I just use a dremel to get rid of the head of the rocker pin, then slide a short stout bladed knife underneath the scales and pop them off (if they are plastic or similar that I do not plan to keep). If the they are bone or something like that I'd like to keep, I carefully dremel off the heads on all the pins and carefully pry it off the pin shanks.
Thanks for all the comments
