This old Knife was kindly given to me as a pile of parts looking quite forlorn and in need of some love.

I replaced the Bolsters with Solid Stainless

the back liner is full cut

the Spring is 1pc Carbon Steel

Blade stamped INOX

Thanks to DC for what has turned out a really nice 11 which I will definately hang on to.

Beautiful resurrection. Are you going to name that one Lazarus?

What is the wood used for the scales?

[The Reverend Sharp]

Thanks natcherly; I'm pretty happy with 'Laz' !!

The Scales are what I call 'Sedia identificato gamba' - Unidentified Chair Leg!!!

We have an Irish Wolfhound Puppy named Sean; he recently destroyed a pretty nice 'Carver' Chair we had picked up and was sitting on the back porch.
I looked at the remains and noted the beautiful Hardwood Timber and decided to turn a Tragedy into a Comedy and use the wood for knife scales.

It looks a bit like Teak, but I'm not sure.

Great job breathing life back into a pile of old bones.
Peter44 has provided a truly rich source for inappropriate comments but, since I'm a gentleman, I'll refrain.
But it ain't easy.
