I found this particular little knife whilst camping, in the mud years ago. The handle wood is missing both sides and it lived in a cupboard draw since.
So as a little get my feet wet I thought Id see if I could re handle it.
The first thing I noticed was that the left pin and right pin holes wont accept a thru handle pin. If I put a pin all the way thru ie from one side to tother the blade wont close. All these questions are raised.
Is the wood not pinned at all? but simply glued.
What are the holes for then? Just locating? do I need them? what stops them from going into and blocking the blade closure.
I think the centre pin is holding it all together so Im not about to pull it out and re pin it or use it to hold the wood.
Thanks for help. then Ill have to sharpen it
