All About Pocket Knives

I picked up these parts for a case back pocket , it came with its original bolsters but whoever took it apart did it badly ,so I went with a shadow pattern, canvas micarta, all brass pins , and I made the shield and pinned it , I’ve never made or fitted a shield before and wasn’t easy , but I learnt a lot , the blade sadly isn’t centered but it’s a case so possibly was like that when it was built ,and way I’m happy with it be it feels great in the hand , I made the toggle on the lanyard from a bullet case , a friend is sending me some 22 shells to finish off the lanyards ends

Thanks Dan micarta is one of my favourite materials for handles , especially for a knife to use out on camp

You saved that one!
Nice work!

Looks excellent, Paul! Now if Case would take note . . .

Now that’s fantastic! I’m a big fan of that knife, I have one myself. I think you did a great job on the covers and the shield.

Thanks guys much appreciated was a fun project and learnt a few lessons , one was setting the shield , but I’m happy with how it turned out and will get used on camp
