Early NYK scout

Don’t be fooled by this one , master blade has been replaced also no well pictures that would show the missing punch blade .
Shield would have originally said Be Prepared .

So do you think that main blade spring was replaced with a "single blade" spring? That one looks like it turns up at the end where the punch would be.

Glen, It's possible the punch blade has been placed in the open position and then the remaining tang ground flush with the bolster & Liners? I have seen this done in the past. A close look in hand would be very telling.

I agree with Berry , no good well or back spring pictures to tell , Also notice the main blade kick is ground down and the bolster on the main blade side shows sanding and pin pronounced . Master blade pitting doesn’t match the other blades .
Would love to see it in hand .
