Hibbard Spenser & Bartlett re-blade

Post by orvet »

I picked up this Hibbard Spenser & Bartlett at the flea market.

It had beautiful bone handles, but the master blade had an obvious problem. ::dang::

I found a spear HS&B blade that fit the frame without any modifications, so I put it in the frame and reshaped the pen blade & dropped it down a bit so I could get to the nail nick on the spear blade.

I then had to grind out a drove in the bone to be able to reach the nail nick on the pen blade.

I have been carrying it for the last couple days. It makes a great EDC! :D
