Granny Paring Knife

Had a friend of a friends grandmother call me up and wanted an "ole fashion" paring knife
like she used to have as she was growing up but more of an updated version. Did some research
and found that Russel Green works was one of the best manufactures back in the day for these.
I was able to get one of their blanks but had to do some serious modifications to meet her specs.
Blade is 440C and I added 304 SS bolsters and pins. Then added Poly-resin handles with real
Sea coral. She was very excited when she saw it. Thought I would share. Troy
