Just how bad is it?
 
I'm surrounded by comedians and collectors. Not even one offer of a bandaid or a word of sympathy for the perforated. :) :)

It is a reblade, 2012. Dang it but you've got a good eye in your head Sit and ITE. At least one good eye for each of you! All of you have half a beer coming for not talking about off-shore stuff and for not exclaiming about my clumsiness...

And you thought that re-blading couldn't be done on the resin-handled folders. Oh contraire. Brilliant lockup, perfect centering of blade, smooth pivot movement, good self-close and working kick. The operation was a success. I don't miss the broken blade one bit.

It is only a scratch, said the Black Knight. LOL. Well-said and great quote because it could be much worse as arms and legs go missing.
 
Who said you can't re blade a resin knife :D
That'll make a mighty fine user there! I like the way those feel in hand:thumbup:


I'd recommend half a beer now...for medicinal purposes :p

The re-blade gave the plastic-army-man-colored scales a little more character around the pivot pin. However, this was a folder that had been well used. Confusing, to me anyway, with the 2012 tang stamp. But a perfect cutting machine now with a full blade. WTG Buck.

This vintage bucklite 112, formerly with a broken blade tip, went from my hand to Joe's hand. He had a note of caution with the resin scales as they can balk at mangling to the point of catastrophic failure in ways that the metal folders aren't subject to because the plastic isn't quite as robust as metal in some circumstances. Fortunately, this procedure went fine.

You, sit, and I'm certain about this, could swap out a blade in a rotating helicopter without whispering a cuss word your talent and skill is that good!!!

Thank you for your medical advise. Some of you may not get your 1/2 beers due to sit's recco to me. :( No fingers/hands were harmed in the making of this thread.
 
Ah, it looks like the grinding ball jumped off the pin a bit when they removed the head... Not too bad though all in all. I'd grab one in a heartbeat with a busted blade. I'd call those "character marks" ;)
 
I was just going to comment that you might want to get your thumb out of the way of that falling hammer next time.

LOL...good one Matt! When my Dad and I were doing some roofing together and I hit my thumb, he said"oooh! Wrong nail?!" I laughed so hard I almost fell off the roof!
 
All my heros are comedians. Thank you mb. I need more tools in my frustrated/hurt myself/confusticated tool bag so I don't scare the kids with cuss words. Here is one I've used myself, "Godfrey Daniels" when things went sideways and my vocabulary failed me.
