Great mod. I'm slightly confused though. Is the awl the same thickness as the corkscrew?

Welcome to the forums.
I love micarta.

They're not.

Awl on the pictured knife: 1.199mm
Awl on my 125th Anniversary Climber: 2.010mm
Different corkscrews I have: 2.451mm (old style with grooves), 2.453mm (new style), 2.452mm (new style).

My spacer is not perfectly straight at the back of the knife (because of the 0.45mm difference), and I can feel a slight wobble in the awl. That being said, it is not more wobbly than what you have on a new knife.

Yep, I did a similar thing a while back and you can't really avoid the little bit of play you get. I don't go much for corkscrews so I tried setting it out like this:

That's nice Nurporia

Is it your work?
What is the wood and what is the 'rivet'/ highlight made from?

But now you have a legitimate excuse to spread your collection into the bathroom

Threw this together over the weekend with some parts I had laying around.
Unless taken, I'll call it the 'Dressmaker'

Nice job mate.

Neil · **Reply #1453 on:** January 13, 2011, 10:16:40 AM

I saw the first couple of pics and before I'd scrolled down I was thinking, "one handed awl, why

" Then I saw the pin

Reinier · **Reply #1454 on:** January 13, 2011, 03:07:01 PM

But it is a one handed pin, right?

That's a amazing bit of detail in the Babel fish. Great work! Was one of the new Hermes engravers used?

Rahmed · **Reply #1462 on:** May 05, 2011, 10:27:09 PM

One Hand GAK got another "gift " - corkscrew instead of Phillips... actually it's more Forester now

njfist · **Reply #1466 on:** May 09, 2011, 10:53:06 PM

thanks..just popped it out of an old scale and carefully glued on the new wood scales...

Sparky415 · **Reply #1467 on:** May 09, 2011, 11:15:07 PM

That sounds easy

Thanks Njfist

A little refreshment for this excellent thread

Yeoman Plus & Huntsman Compact

ironraven · **Reply #1469 on:** May 30, 2011, 01:20:38 AM

Rahmed, those both look really good.

I'm guessing a chisel and a spring from something like a Ranger or larger opposite the saw on both? Are you keeping the nailfile hook for the Hunstman Slim, or it is hookless?

And where did you get the pruner blade on the Yoeman Plus? It is nearly the perfect woods SAK configuration, I've got plans for a similiar one.
