Remington Jack

Post by OLDE CUTLER »

I just fixed up this Remingtom R23 jack for my buddy Sundog. It had a broken spring, but I was able to find one among some parts knives that was just a few thousandths thicker, same hole spacing, but slightly bigger overall. It is bone handled with steel bolsters. Simple matter to fit it and repin. It is probably riding in his pocket right now.

Owned this knife for a day now and I cannot stop admiring it and finding uses for it.
You're right, into the pocket it goes! Thanks Olde Cutler. ::ds::
