My Own Magician's Peanut! LOL

[Hawke]

While I'm certainly no custom knife builder, it's really fun to try out a few repairs and such on cheap or badly abused knives and parts.

My Own Magician's Peanut
A work in progress:

I had a pice of stag which I cut too small for a handle replacement on another knife. I was a little bored and decided to put it on a cheaper peanut I had which lost its shield. Someday I'll finish it, LOL but for the meantime it's...

My Own Magicians Peanut!
Hehehe

It still needs some cracks filled. I will stain or maybe burn the stag side, but thought I'd post some pics.




EDITED
Ive added another side..

We all got to start somewhere. It looks like you're off to a good start.
Here is my first try. It was a badly abused two blade trapper.
I'll to make it an edc to see how it holds up.

You guys are impressive, keep it going. Its amazing how much of a change it makes in the knife....

Hey JOE, thx for the pictures! You tackled the pins right off. I took the easy way out and glued mine on. I was looking at a repair book and it shows pictures of "spining the pin"

How did you handle that part?

I looks like I could get two nail sets and modify them for use as pin spins.

[JOE62]

Hawke, I found a small drill bit that fit the orginal holes in the liners and drilled the handles. Then I found some small nails that I chucked up in a drill and turned down to fit, then I pinned and glued the handles to the liners. Finally I peened the nails with a punch on a metal block. I used some techniques I've learned from repairing old Harley clutch hub studs and some my brother, who is a jeweler, taught me. But most was trail and error. With Lots of error.

Here's the flip side of them.
I would probably consider any interesting trades or offers, on any, or all of them. They ALL belong, in a true Peanut collection.
