Schrade Sc524
Schrade Sc524
I am going to blame Jeff and Mike for this build. They got me fired up with Jeff's 123ot and Mikes Statue of Liberty builds. I went on eBay and purchased a Schrade SC524 blade and liners. I made a spring out of a lawn mower blade and put this together. I still have to buff it out and sharpen the blade but it's a prototype I had to take it apart several times to fit the spring. Now that I have a template for the spring, I can improve the handles.With all the great ideas I get from all the knife builders I can't stop
Thank for looking

Great job on a great pattern!

Nice work!
The 123's and the 524's seem to go for a premium when they show up on E-Bay. Blades and handles are still available from a couple of sources but the springs aren't. Making one is a great solution.

I tried 01 steel for a 125ot. But after 3 attempts I could not get the heat treat correct. So I had used a mower blade before and it worked with out heat treat. So I tried it again. Best thing is to find a old blade in the same thickness you need. I used a blade off a 60'' tractor deck it was thick. It took me some time to grind it to the correct thickness. Grind and cool grind and cool. Save yourself some time.
Hope that helps.

Re: Schrade Sc524
Nice work Nev!
Let us see this guy again after the covers are finished.
(And..... since it is a scrimshaw knife, do a little scrimshaw on it too!)
Great job! Glad the spring worked out for you!

Nev....
I took the spring out of the china knife and YES... it does fit.
I put this one together this afternoon. I have more finish work BUT.... the spring sure seems to fit well.

But one thing I will tell you . I could never do scrimshaw.( A man has to know his limitation's.) I have no artistic talents

Re: Schrade Sc524
Thanks for the information. The seller of the knife parts said a China 123ot would not work. So now we know. I will keep a look out for junk China 123otsMeridian_Mike wrote: ↑Sun Apr 17, 2022 11:41 pm Nev....

Re: Schrade Sc524
Since I got the knife done and all the bugs out of making a spring. I decided to rehandle it in bone. Only one small issue I cracked it at the rocker pin But I think it looks alright.

I always liked that hunter green tree jig, but never did anything with the set I had. Looks cool!
Re: Schrade Sc524
That looks great!
And knowing that you made the spring is really cool.
Great work!

Re: Schrade Sc524
Thank you, Mike,
It cannot compare to your knife. I get my inspiration from people like you and others on this site. I am slowly learning this craft, but I have a long way to go. Thank you for the encouragement.

Re: Schrade Sc524
I got the idea of this from Meridian Mike Statue of Liberty Schrade. I used Bourbon Aberdeen bone handles from Culpepper.Not really the pop I expected but it turned out ok.
Just thought I would share.
