Rare pattern...64055P. Best bet (agree with Muskrat Man)...find another with a good frame and do a swap.

punch and clip blade could be reprofiled, need a new spey and back handle and you'd be in business

The clip can be reshaped as well the spey but the handles pose a problem. Could be patched but would be an obvious repair. Best bet would be to find the same pattern in two, three or four blades and swap out the handles.

I have a friend that has now considered to possibly put mammoth scales on it and reshaping the blades. I will show you the "after" effect if that is acceptable to you case people. If not lets hear your objections now. I should have thought of that last night before I got so benevolent!

Personally, I would NOT destroy the history of this knife by putting a non original material on it. If you want Mammoth buy a new Case and rehandle it. I would reshape the blades and leave as is until you find another frame.
