112 "comfort carry"

[sitflyer]

I allways wished for a 112 that rode a little more comfortably "in pocket" so I got this poor old beater for 8$ . It came with traditional broken tip and generous
bolster hammering. A little custom file work later and...
Real comfy front pocket carry.

That'll do the trick-does the tip stick up out above the liners?

 

[DeSotoSky]

Nice. Did you get a before picture?

 

[sitflyer]

Fritz...no, the tip rests nice and deep in the well!
Desoto... No... I am terrible about not taking before photos...

Thanx for the kind remarks.

Good job! Kind of reminds me of the Canoe pattern slipjoint. How long did it take you to modify?

 

[sitflyer]

Thanx Badhammer,
The bolsters took about 2 hours with a 10" bastard file.
Blade work and finish work about four hours.
The shape is quite comfortable in hand.

Thats beautiful, I'd like to have a 110 slimmed down like that. :thumbup:

Should have sent it to Buck and had the blade changed out before doing your mods.

Sitflyer do you have a duke 500? If so it would be nice for you to do some side by side photos for us. The file thining/rounding make the edges of that 112 very close to a duke 500 in looks. If you couls thin out the sides/scales you would have a clip point, brass 500.....cool.

Nice work! I bet that thing drops to the bottom of your pocket like a lead brick.

colt, why waste a good blade ?

Very nice work sitflyer!

Thanks for the extra photo. I thought that shape looked familiar to me. Just thin out the sides a little more and you will have a clip point, 1/2 canoe 500.

If I can figure out how to put heads on pins I would like to take the sides WAY down...also considered removing the "point" at the well side of the butt.
Maybe if I can find another beater I'll go it a little further next time

Very nice looking you did a great job.

 

[RAZORBLADES]

[JAGcustomknives]

Thinner is better for EDC in MHO

Isn't fixing up old knives fun, or making them better etc...

 

[GRIM 62]

Is it nessecary to pean the pins on the 112?

This thread suggests it isn't needed. Thoughts?
