Does anyone know a source from where one can buy parts for builds? I am thinking blades and tools along with backsprings and scales. If it’s not allowed to link in the thread PM is ok

I’ve seen it on the auction site.

My usual source is buying TSA auctions on the Bay and tearing them apart.

Final result after the hard wax oil is dry. On the next one I am going to try to smoke my own oak

What do you think, equal end with bolsters in each end or like the first, a bit longer bolster in only one end?

I am giving the Oak some treatment. Smoky Oak gives a nice contrast to the brass and tusk I think

If you can call it a Barlow-equal end, I´m thinking of doing the next with a little longer bolster. What do you think?

I can’t get over the polishing job on the blade and tools.

I think ideally, for civilisation carry, I'd want the Pioneer X, but replace the reamer with the small blade from the Pioneer Settler, and replace the can opener with the small Electrician's blade. And then for wilderness carry, the Farmer X, but replace the can opener with the small Electrician's blade.

I don't need a saw or an awl in the city, and I don't need a can opener, ever. Cans of food are too damned heavy to carry into the wilderness.

Because the Pioneer Settler existed, I know that the small blade will fit in the same layer as the large blade. And because the Electrician exists, I know the small Electrician's blade will fit where the can opener normally is.

And I'd like a Rambler Alox to replace my Rambler. The tweezers are terrible, and I can live without the toothpick.
