Thanks for the compliments.
I did all that stuff to it during what little "quiet time' we had during and after flight ops.
I had a set of "Craftsman" needle files that I'd traded for and used one of the flatter triangular files to get the sharp cuts in the bolsters. I had to use a rotary grindstone in a drill motor to get the cuts on that damn blade as it is harder than a minister's pecker. It knocked the teeth off the little file I originally tried to use on the blade.
It also has my last name on the bolsters as well but I photoshopped it out of the picture for some stupid reason. I didn't go by Willie back in those days as I do now.
Funny story about that knife. During one of our in-port periods at Subic Bay, Phillipines, one of the angry young black gents bought a butterfly knife from a local vendor. The vendor told the kid that knife would cut anything and stay sharp etc etc. It was made supposedly from jeep springs left over from WWII and was the ABSOLUTE BEST KNIFE in the world. Said gentleman was expounding the virtues of his new toy whilst playing the bad ass butterfly knife artist in our berthing compartment later that night. He went on and on and on along with trash talk etc. I walked over to where he was mouthing and told him it was a piece of crap and I'd prove it.
He bit, hook, line, and sinker. I took his super knife and proceeded to cut the edge off of it in one thin sliver from tang to tip and then I shaved the hair on my arm with that 110. He had a look on his face like the all the butter had slid off his biscuit!
I had also gotten pretty damn good at fast drawing and opening that old Buck. I put it back in the holster and then yanked it out and had it open in that dude's face and grinned and told him THIS sawed off Texas white boy knows how to use a knife. I then closed it one handed and shoved it back in the pouch. They all gave me a wide berth after that night.
I can't thumb it out anymore due to arthritis. I can still open it one handed by holding the blade and swinging it. Nor can I grip the butt end and squeeze the lock one handed and let it close.
Oh well, I got nothing to prove anymore.
