84mm Lumberjack & Wenger Soldat after regrind

Neil · **Reply #1592 on:** August 01, 2011, 09:27:19 PM

I like seeing blades saved

Though that is one less spare liner out there

bushidomosquito · **Reply #1593 on:** August 01, 2011, 09:51:03 PM

Nice regrind. I tried that long ago when I was a kid and didn't understand about heat treat and totally screwed up the blade. I still have it and plan to inlay the Officer Suisse crossbow into some ti scales opposite the shield.

Rahmed · **Reply #1594 on:** August 16, 2011, 09:28:49 PM

Joiner got miniSD instead of chisel ... nice combination came out

Rahmed · **Reply #1595 on:** August 31, 2011, 09:22:55 PM

Updates from the workshop:
half-forgotten project, highly specialized Woodpecker and more universal birthday SAK... no name yet

edit: anyone tried to use combotool in 93mm Alox

ironraven · **Reply #1596 on:** September 01, 2011, 02:17:50 AM

The top one, which I assume is your Woodpecker, the secondary blade is a reground main blade or small? Looks like a good wittler's knife, I like it a lot. It also would make a good bushcrafter's knife.

The one with the pliers, might I propose a name- the Naturalist, as it is basically a Scientist with pliers and saw.

It is regrind of small blade...

Naturalist is a good-one, thanks

Do its without scales and call it the Naturist

Sorry

In other news, whilst preparing to do a mod I found this ...

A rare factory fault from Victorinox. The end pin was never peened! it looks like the central pin has been hand bashed with a cross milled hammer as well. Must have been made on a Friday

Looks like someone was hitting the juice a little early. You gonna send it back for repair?

No need. Ironically they were doing me a favour as the whole thing needs pulling apart for a mod.

I know I've said it before Rahmed, but you really are doing some excellent stuff.

Neil · **Reply #1604 on:** September 10, 2011, 12:05:54 AM

Yup, good stuff

Rahmed · **Reply #1605 on:** September 10, 2011, 12:13:33 AM

Many thanks guys

Rahmed · **Reply #1606 on:** September 10, 2011, 04:16:37 PM

Fresh one... Master Explorer

Upon request, I added wood saw and metal saw to the Explorer, can it be?

ironraven · **Reply #1607 on:** September 10, 2011, 07:47:10 PM

Nice, basically a Champion sans fish tool and the backside

What happened with the scales?

Rahmed · **Reply #1608 on:** September 11, 2011, 12:11:25 AM

Yup

Owner glued handles a kind of unfortunate glue and this was the result...I already put new one

And let this be a lesson to the unwary... solvents and cellidor don't mix

Here is my new daily carry. It's a cross between an alox farmer and a 91mm explorer

I had to regrind the nail nick on the mag glass so it would sit low enough not to drag in the pocket. It took 3 try's to get the pins not to bend. But I finally got it.

MadPlumbarian · **Reply #1611 on:** September 15, 2011, 04:46:36 AM

Thats almost what im after. I want sissers and not the mag glass.. JR

tattoosteve99 · **Reply #1612 on:** September 15, 2011, 06:33:56 AM

I can do that. You can ask Sazabi. He has one I made for him

bushidomosquito · **Reply #1613 on:** September 15, 2011, 08:38:08 AM

Nice Steve! What backspring do you use for the mag/Phillips layer?

To my surprise it was the regular thick spring from a pioneer. When I measured it I almost hit the floor. It was so close I couldn't believe it.

I wouldn't have reground the mag glass, you lost an opportunity for an emerson style tactical OHO mag glass, that opens as you pull it out of your pocket. Sherlock Holmes + Ninja.

tattoosteve99 · **Reply #1617 on:** September 16, 2011, 12:23:24 AM

Well I wouldn't have if it wasn't made of plastic. Maybe I'll upgrade it with a bushido special.

bushidomosquito · **Reply #1618 on:** September 16, 2011, 01:13:04 AM

The only lenses I could find (after 4 stinking days of internet searching) that fit them perfectly are laser optics quality Schott glass and cost $37 each. Even with waterjet cut bezels I'll still have to assemble, fit (I have to cut a bit of an accommodating radius into the backspring because I make them slightly bigger) and polish them so I think it will be at least a $100 option on my knives. But I will have lots of the clear plastic ones for trade fodder.

yikes!

have you looked into ones made for medium sized flashlight heads? They are often used to make 'throwers'
