It's not easy being green.....

Post by Toejammer »

Camillus four line sword brand. Had cell handles that were starting to gas out, the secondary blades backspring started to crack. I decided to make it a single blade, using the good backspring. Green scales are bargain bin snags off ebay - $4 a pair ! ::rotflol::

I'm not real shot in the arse about the color, but it made for good practice. Didn't get the liners quite as tight as i wanted, but she's snappy.

Crappy before photo, sorry....

Thanks all !

I admit I love that blade also, always liked the swedge clip, and the "Streamline" stamping makes it unique. I've got more than a few cell knives lined up for surgery,...... beats the hell out of letting them gas out ! ::nod::
