GEC 88 Yeti Shenanigans
Posted: Mon Jul 28, 2025 1:58 am
The customer had a 88 yeti in white acrylic. They wanted to turn it into a single blade. They were also interested in replanting the lambfoot blade into a 93 pattern.
The 88 work was simple enough...new stag covers, corset shield.
The 93 wasn't so easy. The blade tangs of the lambfoot and the 93 didn't line up the same. I had to make new bolsters, adjust the pivot pin hole to line up with the spring, and file the tang to fit better with the spring. We did stag on it, with some threading on the bolster.
Here's some pics...
