A few days ago leghog showed us a knife he recently acquired, but things didn't work out a planned and he wound up with a broken tip...http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/s...manity!-Snapped-blade?p=14977703#post14977703
He quickly decided to do a rapid fire GAW to anyone willing to fix this neat old Wenger knife...http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/s...if-you-want-to-mod-it?p=14980205#post14980205 so I jumped on it
Thank You very much for the opportunity to give this sweet old SAK some more time to be useful leghog. :thumbup::thumbup:
So here's where it began for me.
First thing was to plan out the grind:
I thought it would make a pretty decent and useful sheepsfoot so had at it.
The tools: My trusty glass grinder for stained glass work, The sponge delivers water to the diamond bit to wash away grindings and keep things cool:
Took about 5 minutes to grind it to shape and cut the swedges.
Then on to the Paper:
I decided to re-surface the steel so it can tell new stories going forth. This was fun and very enjoyable for me, and I really do appreciate the knife leghog! Thanks Again! :thumbup::thumbup:

50s/60s era Wenger from their 100mm Sportsman series. Three layer with main blade, secondary pen, "pre-beak" can opener, combo cap lifter/wire stripper/flat head screw driver, and saw plus flush punch and corkscrew back tools.
