Some may remember this 110 I got a few weeks back.
2004 date code stamped on both side, with a scale pin missing.
Not sure if the sheath is the right one for this year of manufacture, but it came with it and looks unused.
My mate Zanussi01 gave me this stag to use.(Awesome bloke that he is!)
The stag is from a Randall 5-6 he rehandled some time ago due to a split.
Inside of handle showing the original hole and glue.
Split was above rear end of hole.
Handle cleaned up and stag pieces cut oversize using original scales as a template.
'You can take material off, but you cant put it back on':- Zanussi01
Then I had a thought! Randall stag!? Can I put Randall type spacers?
YES I CAN! This is a dry fit up, no glue, just to check everything is okay.
Rocker pin reinstalled, shortened and peened over.
Scales glued up and in the vice.
Starting of shaping by hand using rasps.
Top and bottom, then the ramps at each end.
(Even though I did thin the stag down considerably, it is still an inch wide at its widest point!
And yes it still fits in the original leather belt sheath, just!)
Rounding with 40 grit by hand.
Final sand with 120, then wet and dry 240, with 1200 to finish.
Polish up with 'Simi Chrome' metal polish.
A quick light slide on the diamonds and strop to bring the edge back.
Now she's a razor sharp fist full of stag with rock solid lock up, great snap and perfect centering.
All done and ready to rock and roll!
This is my first attempt at this sort of project.
A few times I had to walk away as it was nerve-wracking, didn't want to stuff up and waste Zanussi01's stag.
I'm very happy with the results and look forward to using my custom stag 'double stamp' 110!
