A Few To Work On

[whitebuffalo58]

This poor little guy was in really sorry shape. A well worn and ill fitted Camillus primary and the handles had been patched in several places with JB Weld.

Remington 3-1/2" Whittler. (3 backsprings)

Even though I believe most of these were fitted with spear blades originally, I found a suitable Remington clip blade that fit nicely and functions properly. I decided to rehandle it using quartersawn white oak from a 100 year old barn we tore down a few years ago. I thought they were sorta fitting for the acorn shield.

Kabar 3-7/8" Stockman.

Pile side handle missing. Both handles replaced using burled (gunstock) Walnut. I may reset the shield, but I have a second one of these to work on and may opt to use the shield on it instead.

The bail had caused the rear pivot holes to "crater" I decided to go with domed pins to take care of the problem, rather then filing the bolsters down to remove the cratering.

Camillus 3-5/8" Official 4-Blade Scout.

Handles replaced with smooth Pacific Blue bone from Culpepper and the shield reset. Some shades of blue bone can look a little tacky, but this particular blue looks pretty good to me. I eliminated the bail to be a bit more pocket friendly.

Last up for now. With this one needing to be fully disassembled, I was a little worried that the handles would break during the process. I lucked out and along with new primary and can opener blades, it all went back together very nicely. I also replaced the bail, but like the idea that it's easily removed. I doubt I"ll ever carry this one, but if I did, I'd just asoon not have a bail.

Imperial unoffical 3-5/8" 4-blade "Scout".

Not sure what's next, but will post as I get 'em done.

Thanks for looking, all comments welcome,

I managed to finish this one up over the past few evenings. New blade and fork and a set of rosewood slabs. It's too big for EDC, but should make a nice addition to the jobsite/campin' kit.
