Hello all, I picked this old Timer up recently,(here is a pic. http://picturehost.com/v/User-Albums...immer.jpg.html )and love everything except the saw cut derlin handles. My questions are, Would it be possible to remove the scales that are on it and replace it with stag scale myself? What kind of steel is used in this knife? It seems like carbon steel, it had a very fine edge on it when I bought it. One more thing, Is there any why to date these knives, like, Caes knives? Thanks John
 
Yes you can get the knife rehandled, but it might be a little more expensive than what was paid for the knife.

They would have to remove the 3 handle pins (one stabilizes the back spring and goes all the way through the knife (handles, liners spring), fit the stag and re-pin the knife.

Some of the guys in the Schrade Forum may know how to date the knife. I have not handled enough of them to know if it can be done.
 
Thanks for the reply, I was planning on doing the handles myself, but I was not sure about removing the pin that holds in the backspring.
 
Hey, just thought I would put some updated knife piccs. It is not finished yet, but it is close. Let me know what you think. I have an 80t with the old carbon blade, that I will be starting on next. Thanks, John






 
Nice work! I have a Birdseye Maple scaled Queen Folding Hunter. It looks like the Queen mated with a Schrade there. Here is a pic of the Queen. I think your BEM is quite a bit nicer!

Folding hunters are one of the patterns I like and have a few of.

Nice job John ! You have a great kinife that you have made even better by personalizing it your self. I know we would all enjoy seeing the next project when you have finished.

Thanks for all the kind word. I must admit, I now have a huge grin on my face :D. sunnyd if you ever have any questions feel free to email me at Johnwaynesandw@aol.com I will be happy to go step by step with you ( it was a lot easier than I thought it would be The key is to take your time.) Next I think I will try some stag on the 80T. I think I have found a new hobby that I really enjoy. Thanks again for all the kind words. And Gramps, I will most certainly post pics of the 80T when It is finshed.
