Some TLC for a Tomcat

Some TLC for a vintage SOG Tomcat that is the treasured EDC knife of a friend of mine.
The pin on which the lockbar pivots had been seriously deformed over the years due to which the backlock function was compromised.
Also the glue under the Kraton grip panels was dried out leaving the panels almost loose.
Exchanged the old pin for a new one made from a piece of hardened spring steel rod and reglued the Kraton grip panels, and everything works again as it should.
Also resharpened the edge to what i call a standard toothy finish (Rubber Wheel with 230 grit diamond powder, deburred with 1.0 micron diamond compound on a Paper Wheel)
You can click 2 X on each pic for a bit more detail.

Geometry cuts but the steel determines how long.
