I enjoy seeing your modded Camco, Bart. Gives me ideas on mine.

The barlow is made from a blade and spring from an 1960s school knife

It was satisfying to save an old workhorse 😊

You should absolutely give modding/building a go, very nice to have the knife you want as you want it 👍🏿

Since the pen-knife was redundant all “pocket knives” were to have a corkscrew back in the day. School knives only came with a blade, maybe there is some history to be found somewhere that tells what the intended purpose was in school?

Well, I’ve busted apart a number of “regular” slipjoints, and put them back together ~ TL-29s, jacks, barliow, sodbuster, stockman…usually with scales I’ve made, and sometimes with changed or deleted blades.

But for some reason, I’ve never fiddled around with Swiss Army Knife modding. The only thing I’ve done is putting new celidor on one. One of these days!

Edit to add: Nice work on the Barlow!
 
Same spot as yesterday’s photo, but slightly different weather.07B06985-4639-4F04-8DDA-686A4EFCA491.jpeg
Totin a $6 fleamarket score, a 73+ year old Camillus #68 Stockman. It was in a box of mostly junky broken old Boy Scout Imperials and Colonials. Encrusted with old grease and grime, with the bone faded to a weird beige.
My oldest Opinel, bought out of an outdoor supply catalog in the ‘70s. Years later, I dropped it on concrete, and busted the tip off. So it sat in a toolbox, until I came across it much later, and re-ground the blade. Then re-shaped the beechwood.942567AE-4A59-4706-A95E-4B6E1F1EB7E0.jpeg
