Rigging knife

Post by markwesti »

This is my Kabar , it came to me in rough shape . The PO tried to sharpen it on a bench grinder , fortunately he stopped before too much damage was done . Also one of the scales was gone and the guard had a problem , there was no sheath and no Kabar pliers . The scales I made from a Corian tile sample I also made the pins , the sheath I snagged off the Bay also the pliers . The spike I made . One cool thing about the Corian is you can Scrimshaw it . Hope you like it lets see yours .
Ha I just realized I don't have a pic of the pliers I'll be back in a few days and post .
