Can a Sharktooth be converted?

Post by hogwild »

Mr Bill; I have a Cumberland Mountain Buck 110 conversion. Do you know if a Case Sharktooth could be converted to auto? I have had several over the years and I like the design and feel of a Sharktooth much better but would like to look into this conversion. If possible; I will carry this conversation into a PM. Greg

It can be converted, but I don't do them.

Thanks Mr Bill. I contacted the first recommendation and he is willing to give it a go. I really like the conversions he has started doing. I look forward to this project as the Sharktooth is my favorite working knife. He's gonna work out the bugs on a user and then we'll go with the stag one. Thanks again. Greg

I HAD a converted Sharks Tooth Case, the only problem I had was that the steel was 440 and the sear hole got worked over. Nice knife though, rescaled in Ram's Horn, Bob has it now ...
