tourist knife to fishtail
Here's a tourist knife I turned in to a fishtail. I've been wanting a fishtail but don't have the scratch. I did have two tourist knives laying around that had issues. Would like to try again because this one does have a few problems. It was my first go at this so that is to be expected. Dark horn, new brass button and safety.

Thanks Jerrbear, most people know what a tourist knife is but for reference here is a link. http://www.tylerrabbit.com/knives/image ... oursit.jpg

Re: tourist knife to fishtail
Thanks all I plan to do another and fix some of the little things. Whippersnapper I think I bought this from you. Try to get a better pic when the sun shines in Ohio again. The poor mans fishtail!!
If I recall, I only sold one [to a friend, locslly]
[but we are dealing with senior memory]
If Whip says he got it from me, I yeild to a younger memory

Re: tourist knife to fishtail
Very, very nice. Cool idea!
Some folks call it a sling blade, I call it a Kaiser blade.
Nice work
