Rebuilding a slipjoint knife
I have a nice Case Trapper in Amber bone that I carry as a backpocket knife. I find that it is too thick and would like to have the Spey blade taken out. I have also thought of getting a Yellow Peanut in CV and one in Amber bone which is SS and having the blades swapped so I can have a nice set of Peanut, Canoe and Trapper in Amber Bone and CV.

Is there anybody who will do this at a reasonable cost?

you could just buy a single blade trapper?might be easier and cheaper,and you would have more knives....btw case makes the peanut in amber bone cv so no need to buy a yellow one for a blade swap.

I have a few other single blade trappers but I really like the way this set would carry in my pockets and I can not find a peanut in CV and Amber, it might have been made at one time but is not listed now;

I am not sure where you have looked but if you poke around the net a little or check out an auction site of two they will pop up.they are not rare and were produced for several years.good luck.
 
If you are wanting to have a nice Case knife with CV blades why not just doing a little looking around on Ebay? My advice would be to seek out a nice vintage Case knife which will have superior fit and finish to the newer models and will ultimately not cost any more than the parts knife you are considering having made. Just a thought:) Even if you prefer the more recent vintages you should be able to find a CV Amber peanut.
