Another Project From My Workbench
Here is another project from my workshop.
I have become rather fond of West Cut knives. West Cut is a brand of Western, who IMHO made some of the finest carbon steel knives of the last century.
This was a 2-blade jack with ugly orange-ish yellow celluloid that was a poor attempt to look like stag, similar to Schrade’s Staglon, but with an ugly fake looking twist.
I replaced the celluloid that had so badly offended my eyes with a couple nice pieces of stag from the Henckels factory. I made it a single blade, nice and slim (about 3/8” wide), but it is a nice useful 3-3/8” closed. An excellent size for the pocket when you don’t want a heavy bulky knife.

Way to go!! You should take all those pen blades, springs and spare liners that are good and make some small single blades out of them.
