1st. attempt at taking a 2 blade knife to 1 blade (broken blade)

[holo07]

I have to start by saying if it wasn't for this forum I would have never had the thought to do so. I have been buying a lot of broken and and beat up knife and giving them a 2nd. chance as users. Mostly reshaping blades, cleaning, sharpening. Well I got tired of that so thought I would give this a try, separating a a 2 blade knife and then putting it back together and making it functional. Well I did, I am most impressed i didn't break the bone handles of the knife.Its all back together great snap and a little blade wobble, all in all I am happy. I will take more pictures on my next attempt at a different knife. Here are the before and after pics. If you have done this please share your photos.

We all started somewhere. Great first try at this. The hard part is getting up the courage to take your first one apart!

Nice job! Especially on one that has clearly seen better days!

Nicely done! I wouldn't know where to start with a knife like that, and yours turned out looking awesome. It looks like a sweet user!

Very cool! my first attempt was on a $10 reindeer trapper knife i found in a junk shop. the spring tension is still messed up. my second bolder attempt was on a bnit gec 48 two blade trapper. glennbad received a small flat rate box about a week later with a gec tube filled with gec 48 parts.
