Thread: Boker in Bone

This is for a fellow here in Toronto. I believe he picked it up for $5 at an antique shop. Not a bad deal I'd say. I'm fairly certain that these bone scales were the originals, and he wanted to keep them. I just about had a heart attack trying to take them off, and then again when I was putting them back together....

We left a bit of character in the blade and a bit on parts of the scales. The scales soaked in neatsfoot oil for a couple days and then were sanded and buffed. I took a boat load of pictures, but couldn't get the angle to show the shine....

Original wedge, new pin and microfastener.
