Kutmaster - some minor repair
Posted: Thu Dec 22, 2011 5:04 pm
This old knife belonged to my Great-Grandmother (my "Ole Granny"). I was 14 when she died in the spring of 1970 and my Grandmother gave me two old knives that belonged to Granny. This one has been in one drawer or another ever since; the tips were broken off both blades on the knife when I got it, so I never considered it for carry. After hanging around here at AAPK I figured I could just reshape the tips with a file and some stones; I spent about 45 minutes this morning reshaping the tips. I think it came out okay for a first attempt. The pen blade came out very decently, nearly following the original shape (it had only lost about 1/16"). The clip blade had lost much more steel, so it doesn't look too much like a clip any longer. The knife has surprisingly good snap since I oiled the blade tangs.
