My repaired knife back from Bill

Post by Scotchman »

Here is my knife. Bill did an excellent job. He tightened the blade, replaced the kick spring, and put on a new scale. Thank you Bill!!

Thank you.
It was rescaled because someone had thinned the scales at the end to "streamline" the knife. When I attempted to remove one of the front pins, the scale shattered-hence the replacement.

Your knife looks new. Bill did a great job.
Did you post photos of your knife a while back. Not long ago I have a recollection of seeing a knife in need of a safety was that your knife?
