I have been wanting to try a "one arm" version with a cut out to allow opening against a pocket. Similar to the older razor style blade spines found on some traditionals like I have posted below.Jazz wrote:Thanks, Ned. I like how there's a lot of blade to play with on the stock version. I also like the stock one just fine, too.

Kinda liked the bronze, but this is a bit cleaner looking IMHO.Stony wrote:I bought this scale off of a guy on the USN. It originally came bronzed annodized, had to bead blast the scale, screws, lock tab, stand offs, and the clip. Really happy how it turned out.
Reblasted version.

You've solved a mystery for me, I always wondered what that was for! Great idea, I think that would be a great Pingo mod...xceptnl wrote:I have been wanting to try a "one arm" version with a cut out to allow opening against a pocket.

No problem. See pasted info below from A.G. Russell site regarding their folding steak knifeNed wrote:You've solved a mystery for me, I always wondered what that was for! Great idea, I think that would be a great Pingo mod...
Our folding steak knife fits perfectly in your shirt pocket, and is so lightweight you will hardly know it is there. Send the ugly restaurant knives back to the kitchen and use this knife to cut your steak. Originally designed for anyone who has the use of only one hand. Simply hook the end of the blade on a belt loop or pocket edge and open it with only one hand.

I've had a project on my bench for a while - to put wooden scales on a lightweight FRN UKPK. My main hurtle was developing a way to replicate some of the features that are molded into the inside of the FRN scale. Here are the three components that need to be designed into the replacement wooden scales. Please ignore the blotchy color - I bought a used UKPK off one of the Forums and the original owner had dyed the blue scales green...
First up is the raised area around the pivot that functions like a washer to lift the blade off of the scales.
Next up is the "pin" that anchors the backspring.
And last is the molded backspacer.
Here is how I addressed these issues. I found some aluminum spacers in my toolbox and machined them to replace the backspacer and the backspring pin. I cut them to length, drilling out the backspacer to the width of the rear bolt. Then I used a counterbore bit (without a pilot) to drill some recesses on the inside of the wooden scale to anchor both of these pins. Lastly, I installed some very thin synthetic washers on the pivot. Here are a couple of pictures:
And here is how the knife looks assembled (minus the right-hand scale):
I'll post some glamor shots of the finished product in the next post...

Here are some shots of the final product. I didn't finish this one out to a high level of gloss, because this was my "test mule" for figuring out the scale mounting technique. I'll probably disassemble this one soon and replace the scales with something a bit more flashy. But for now, it seems to work like a charm! It will be in my pocket for the next few days...
