well today i broke apart few vics and started the project,heres just few quick snapshots of the knives gutted

-2 x farmer
-1 x apprentice
-1 x un-identified vic phillips screwdriver donor.

from this broken downd farmer ill use atleast the backspring of saw.ill be needing atleast two springs to get the pliers in.

This baby didnt have a long life,i just reveived it from Tim and now its in pieces.
from this,ill use the small blade.

It always makes me sad to see them gutted like that

, make there sacrifice a worthy one, or feel my wrath

Tarrodemierda · **Reply #2 on:** August 20, 2008, 03:13:15 PM

dont be sad

ill combine their "lifes" to one tool that suits my needs and taste better.

now i only need one more backspring of saw,pin material and pliers,and maybe ill manage to put that wenger mainblade in too.who knows

those little tubes proofed to be really useful to have all the parts in order,theyre actually just old drill bit cases.

whats the meaning of those markings in alox handles?

You know, you've wasted a real opportunity here: instead of just posting the photos all at once, you should have posted one knife gutted with a message - "cash, or the others get it."

max6166 · **Reply #18 on:** August 20, 2008, 11:09:56 PM

Maybe you should try asking Rotokid for parts.

Tarrodemierda · **Reply #19 on:** August 20, 2008, 11:17:20 PM

well i tried to search for the pins from his shop but if the pins are 3.05mm there aint such brass pins at all.but one is close.

scibeer · **Reply #20 on:** August 21, 2008, 06:20:48 AM

The pins will be 3.0mm for the sides and 2.5mm for the center.

You will want to drill the tool pivot holes for the phillips, pliers etc. to around 3.05mm to give a little room.

If Rotokid doesn't have the pinstock, let me know and I can send you some with an extra saw backspring for your pliers.

I posted the pliers pic a while back. It will work with 2 saw springs together, but you have to reshape the pliers handle a little to get it to close, and file a small landing for the pliers tips on the backsprings.

Your donor pliers will be going to the post office tomorrow. Can't help with a spare saw spring at the moment, sorry

Have you not got a local model/hobby shop for the pin stock

Neil

well today i actuallu did somethin useful to project,i got the ceramic drill thru the phillips screwdriver,now its 3+mm,i tried it to the original pin and it pretty good,bit tight but thats ok i guess.and i filed the screwdrivers crosshead too,now its like new,no scratches or dents at all and i polished it too.
