TOTs knife overhaul comparison

Just took a few side by side shots of a stock TOTs knife I’m about to overhaul for a customer and one I’ve already completed. With just a little bit of time & effort and a few supplies you can make these bad boys look that much more realistic and favor a vintage W.R Case & Sons butcher knife a whole lot more.

-Thanks for looking, Kyle

I’m assuming the one you overhauled is on top?

Your assumption was absolutely correct!

It’s kinda obvious lol, Without making an assumption you can clearly tell the diffrence in the stock paint from the overhaule. The overhaul looks much better and more realistic.

Thanks General! I know both of the knives are still of course somewhat similar because they are exactly the same thing, ones just had some TLC but I figured the metal rivets and the blade weathering would be a dead give away. :laughing:

Very, very nice work

It looks really good. Way better than the stock version.

Thanks.

Did the cops ever bother you guys for holding a TOTS knife on streets? I mean, although we know very well it’s harmless is it still legal to hang out with it since its realistic look?
