BAK mod
on: April 04, 2018, 10:12:36 PM

Did you ever have an idea and think no that can't work or someone else would have done it by now?  :think: :think:

There follows some poor pictures of a usefull little mod for  British Army Knife

This one is new old stock with the original grease and was made by ABL in 1950


Hold the knife in a vice and open up the marlin spike
Balance a speed square on the spike


Take your file (power file  ) and file the top untill it matches the angle of the square


And do the far side


That's it, job done, after tidying you should have a useable awl   :salute:


See I said it was easy, now go poke holes in things  :cheers:

I've been thinking about this one for a while now
I might try a slightly steeper angle but the metal is fairly soft  :think:

Sure it's not a Belgian Army Knife?

The ABL marking should stand for Armee Belge/Belgisch Leger and just reffers to "Belgian Army"

The manufacturer's name is usualy stamped below that.

Cool find!

Never even seen a Belgian Army Knife in unused condition.

I've got one from 1950 too, restored it myself.
It was made by Colasse

Tony has started a right mess here. We don't even know which country we're in - hope it gets sorted out before brexit.

Give that man a round of applause. An elegant explanation Sir.  :cheers:

Pabs, have you been pestering the Bakers of Ireland with requests for Belgian Bunnies? Lay off the Cadburys Creme Eggs for a while. Send them to me for safekeeping.
