This knife started life as a Case muskrat cv. My origonal intention was to pull the knife apart, do a little work on the back spring to drop the blade back a little, grind the spine to a smooth curve and drop the tip a little. The intent was to have a thin single blade and learn a little at the same time. As luck would have it, one scale chipped out at the back pin. I guess now is as good of time as any to learn to replace scales on a slip joint!:eek:

some nice work done here, Im generally not a fan of muskrats but this isnt half bad. Did you drill out the old pins or did you get whole new bolsters?
 
That pocket knife looks great. I sure would like to see any pics of the project in progress if you have them.
