I recently picked your brains about what to do with this Camillus 67. It was missing the back scale. This was my first time to use jigged bone. I used Culpepper Amber Aberdeen. The hardest part (with my tools) was thinning the bone from the base side. I figured if I placed it, without thinning it, the hafting process would get rid of a lot of the jigging. I held the bone, on the side of a grinding wheel, by hand. Fortunately bone grinds away pretty quickly. This was also my first time with a pinned shield. I didn't have a 1mm drill or 1mm nickelsilver wire...so I made it 1.5mm. I didn't do a very good job, of making many of the pins "disappear"...but I figure that will help the next guy find them
I plan to give this to my son,for his birthday. I haven't done a knife for him, since I've started playing around with them. He is in the Navy. We will be going to see him, in September. He is an x-ray tech, assigned to the USS George Bush...out of Norfolk, Virginia.
The before pictures and suggestions (on what to do) were here:
