Badly Needed TLC For An Old Case 6216

I couldn't resist trying to save this Case old timer (6216 I think). Interesting knife with large and small clip blades. I won't go into everything that was wrong with it, but I have to mention that the larger clip blade with was bent so badly that couldn't close the knife and, of course, it had a broken off tip. I love the green bone scales despite a few very fine hairline cracks.

Awesome example, Herb.
Excellent job on the re-profiling too.

Looks great! You did well in reshaping that tipped main blade. You maintained the original profile as much as possible. That one is now a worthy EDC!
