Schrade USA 18OT Mighty Mite

Post by Jeffinn »

These little knives present their share of challenges but are fun to work on just the same. The Swinden keys were in good shape so I was able to reuse them and the blade was in decent shape as well so I left it as found.
I replaced the handles with some nice Amber Richmond pattern bone (Culpepper of course).
It cleaned up nice.

Great job Jeff!
The jigging shows just how small that knife really is. I haven't worked on any smaller knives yet. I guess I figured the bigger they are the easier they are to work on.
It's a beauty! I really like Culpepper's amber bone.
