WWI Camillus restoration

Post by orvet »

Some of you may recognize this as what used to be a WWI Red Cross knife.
Before I got the knife someone had cut the spoon off where it came out of the handle.
I have an intact Red Cross knife already, so I thought this one would make an excellent large folding knife!

I took out the spoon handle & spring and made it into a single blade.
It would make a great folding hunter at 4-1/2".
The handles are African Blackwood. I used all steel pins too, just like it was made with at Camillus.
