All About Pocket Knives

I was looking thru my junk box for something and I ran across this Forest Master camper style knife that I had bought at the fleamarket for $1 because it had a broken spring. After I got to looking at it, I decided to take it apart and see if it could be fixed. After I had it apart, I noticed that unlike the Kamp King knives by Imperial which have 2 springs, this Forest Master has 3 springs. What that means is I could delete the broken spring along with the can and bottle opener that go with it, turn the awl blade around to the other end along with its spring, and reassemble it and have a Forest Master harness jack. Kind of weird, but it works.

VERY nice combination! I like that better than the original.

Go ahead, like I said it is easy because of the 3 spring design of the Forest Master. The pivot pins are 1/8 inch, and the center pin is .081".

Nice improv on that one. More pocketable I assume also, yes?

Yes it is slimmer, I re installed the bail after reshaping it slightly because of the profile change.

Excellent save and nice transformation!
