Well this thread has been a long time coming. I've been away from the forums for quite a while as the partner and I moved into our first home and I've been swamped with work and new home projects. Anywho... Late last year I sent Glenn an 82 dixie stockman with marroon linen licarta covers and asked him to indulge me with a rebuild. Here's a borrowed pic of the stock knife:
I wanted to turn it into a shadow stockman in the spirit of the old Schrades with yellow delrin. We decided to opt for a butterscotch yellow paper micarta with brass bird's eye pivots and a custom arrow shield reminiscent of one I found on a very old jack knife. Well Glenn humored me and after a few months he really knocked this one out of the park. Before the knife arrived I had boxed up all of my knives for our move to our new home and everything has been left in boxes for the last 6 weeks or so. Luckily Glenn's work of art arrived just in the nick of time and has been my sole pocket knife during that time. It went straight to work cutting down boxes, scraping window sills and baseboards, and cutting up my dinner. Here she is:
Everything on it arrived just perfect, any "imperfections" were added by my constant use of it. Thank you again Glenn! I couldn't be more pleased with this one.
