Utility/Scout Congress

Post by whitebuffalo58 »

My latest funky creation.

SANY0005.JPG
Buck Creek Congress frame, teamed up with what's left of the spear blade out of a Camillus Scout, a Pal can opener, Remington punch and a WWII era Imperial screwdriver/cap lifter blade.
All kicks had to be adjusted and the screwdriver had to be altered to allow for access to the nail nick on the spear blade. Also had to alter the center liner to allow for the blade to close. As an after thought, I wish I had of put on a bail. ::dang:: Handles are whitetail deer antler.
I think this one definetly qualifies as a Frankenknife, but all blades actually function perfectly. :D

Who has more fun than the WB? You gotta admit, it's unique. Ever add lower bolsters to a TL-29?

LOL! That's me Jerry, a barrel full o' monkeys! (or, maybe just what's left over after they escape? :lol: )
Haven't done the lower bolster thing yet, but have a couple of TL-29's to tinker with. Might hafta give it a try. I did customize a couple of others recently, but handed 'em off to a couple of buddys in the construction industry. They make excellent tool belt knives.

::rotflol:: Kaleb, your first reaction, was the one I most expected to get! But, thanks for takin' a second look. ::handshake::
Thanks for the other positive comments too, guys. Never seen the term "ARE YOU NUTS" put in so many nice ways. :lol:
Just wait 'till you see my version of a Sunfish Toothpick! :shock:

Very innovative idea!
