It's for my older brother and his D Day uniform he put together.
He got his grail 30 carbine a few months ago.
He has every part but one.
The "jack knife".
Now he'll have it!
I picked up 2 practically ruined ones and will make a completely restored one.

The two knives. Will restore the lighter colored one, it requires less parts.
The darker one, the other scale is shattered.
The lighter one is a RARE brass liner Camillus.

Fitting together, after reaming all the pin holes.

Kamp-King, thanks for the great pics. I'm curious, do you find any issues with the fit and snap when you replace the blades and the springs?
 
Thanks!
I really hate busting apart a war relic to restore another but now I have a wonderful gift for my brother.
For 1/3 the cost of one off E-Bay.
 
Very impressive work Kamp_King! :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
