N.Y. Knife CO./Hammer Brand Jack Resto

Post by herbva »

I'm still not sure why I put so much time and effort into this one, but maybe it was crying out to me for some TLC. I am sure that it has been sitting in my "on-deck" box for way too long. It was a total mess and maybe it was the challenge. Here it is with the bent liners straightened out and new burlap micarta scales. I welded steel onto the springs to fill in the usual divots that were worn in from use and it is super snappy now. I just finished up on it and now I see that should have wiped off the dust it picked up from my workbench before taking the pictures. Oh well. :D

I LOVE that burlap micarta.
Everything about that knife is spot-on!
