I found this old PAL RA 36 in the woods when I was a teenager. As you can see in the pictures the Leather Washer handle rooted and it was badly rusted and pitted, but I reground the knife and replaced the Leather Washer handle. I think it came out pretty nice. I made the handle larger than the original because the original was in my mind to small even for my hands.
Model SP1
Model SP3, Stubby
Unfortunately I don't have many picture of knives of past projects due to Hard Drive failure but have a look at the few I do have. I hope to be able to get many more up soon.
