Schrade Cut Auto
Schrade Cut Auto
Here is a knife that sat in my shop for a long time that I finally got around to repairing. It was missing the mark side bolster, throw spring, release button, sear and quite a bit of bone. I didn’t get a picture of it before I started work but you can get an idea of what it looked like from the first two pictures. It works fine now and the blade sits nice and low in the frame. Repaired but whole again.
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.

Great work, Wayne! I've worked on a few autos, but I tend to get intimidated by all the moving parts.
Re: Schrade Cut Auto
Thanks for all the kind words. With such a nice full blade this one was definitely worth the effort.

Re: Schrade Cut Auto
Beautiful restoration Wayne! Ya gotta know, when Bill De posts a "Very nice!" you've gotta be doing something right! You sir have mad repair skills!
Re: Schrade Cut Auto
Great looking repair, did you remove the handle cover to do this ? Just curious.
Re: Schrade Cut Auto
No, I left the handle on. Used a piece of Schrade Cut bone to bridge between the slide lock and button release. The rest is epoxy repair. Thanks again for the kind words.

Re: Schrade Cut Auto
Ah, ya .. thats the most difficult area to deal with. Long ago i put a piece of plastic on top of the slide area then epoxy but it just kept hanging it up till it finally fell apart.. again, nice repair!
