Camillus 25 Stainless Fisherman's Knife

Post by Jeffinn »

I started going back through some of the knives that I did last year or the year before. Most of them are fishing knives. They look pretty good but I can see a lot of room for improvement where hafting and finishing is concerned.
This old Camillus 25 originally had the ugly yellow scales, shrunken, beat up and just worn our. I put some amber scales on it in the wormgroove pattern last year.
Today, I decided to clean up the backsprings, re-haft the bone scales and re-polish the entire knife;

I just listed this knife in my store but I like it alot. If its not spoken for by the time I get back from Arizona next week I may just convince myself to keep it!

Thanks Glennbad!
I have a hard time letting go of fishing knives, I'm not sure why.
I have a couple dozen of them that I worked on over the past few years. I'm going to go back through and clean them up and get them listed on my AAPK store.
Maybe I'll sell a few, maybe not. I'm okay with it either way.
