I finished my first knife. The blade is from a rusty old leaf spring, the handle is from a lump of wood from the firewood pile, the sheath is made from some scraps I had, and the pins in the handle are roofing nails.

I love the knife on the left. Beautiful handle. One finds this type of grain mostly in burls from tree trunks.Still waiting on the Marlin to arrive, so got these in the meantime.....
The wood on that looks beautiful. I think they took care of you for the mixup.Got my Service Grade Garand today. It is in great shape. Reciver made in 1942, looks like the barrel was made in 1952 but I need to do more research.
Hell of a rifle. Off to go shoot it now.

Garands are among the most entertaining rifles to shoot.I think they did as well. +1 on the muzzle and +2 on the throat.
I agree I think the stock is new but that doesn't matter to me as I will use it to shoot and not hang on the wall to look at.
Went to the range and ran 56 rounds through it(I have a few hundred Korean era surplus 30.06 in enblocs left over from my youth) and the rifle didn't miss a beat.
Do you have a link?
Me?
