Camillus 69 with mammoth scales

[beresman]

I received this 69 with bone handles, both sides broken and with missing pieces, filled in with clear epoxy--not a pretty knife, but not ready for the scrap heap. I had put mammoth scales on a knife for another AAPK member, and thought I'd try it for this knife as well.

As the knife was already worn and rough-looking (kind of like me), I decided to go with a bit of a rustic look--not a highly polished, just-out-of-the-box look. I'm reasonably happy with it, though the main spring is a little weak, and I got the blade a smidge too tight, so it doesn't snap really cleanly. I also had to reprofile the spey blade a bit, as it was pretty dinged up. But its definitely a keeper...

I like a good old knife brought back from the dead, that looks nice!

I'll jump on the bandwagon. Well done, it's a keeper.
