NEW LIFE FOR AN OLD IMPERIAL KNIFE

The inspiration for this knife came from the Trestle Pine "Portage" - interesting little knife, I believe made by Queen Cutlery (?) but maybe made "to a price" as the fit and finish isn't too flash
(especially the pins on this example)

So (as you do) I decided to make my own .... pretty happy with the end result. Recycled Imperial USA Blade & Spring, Brass Liners, Nickel Silver Bolsters and Pins, Gidgee Scales/Covers
