I just resized a few. Most of the pictures are rather boring. I seldom take pictures of the actual repair processes. Lots of pics of shell pullers, Leverlettos, and stilettos.

What is that clip point horse bolster? Is that an auto?

And did you by any chance get pics of the MOP Sheffield when it was apart? I would like to see the button set up in that one.

The clip point knife is an old Aerial Cut. Co. It's a lever release, backspring operated auto.
I did the handles for Shursnap. This is a modern reproduction (on an old knife) of the Aerial picture handled knives. This would have been one of the pictures the maker used on these.
