semperbee Posted July 25, 2020 Share #1 Posted July 25, 2020 Picked up this Camillus Mk1 knife years ago as part of set of knives, it was paired with a jet pilot knife that I wanted. The handle was twine wrapped. Under that twine the leather washers were dry & cracked, a chunk with missing from the plastic pommel so into the "stuff I don't have time for now" bin it went. Flash foward to this year and sorting thru stuff looking for something else I came across it again. I got a hairbrained idea to pair with a cut down USN Mk1 bayonet scabbard I had lying around and thus it was born. I never cared for the smooth handle on the Mk1s so when I shipped it off to Steve S. in NC I asked him to put in grooves similar to the JPKs. When I got it back Steve had also repaired the pommel, I'm amazed at that man's craftsmanship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorin6 Posted July 25, 2020 Share #2 Posted July 25, 2020 As someone who has repaired/restored/put-together several knives this year, that is really a good looking setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Misfit 45 Posted August 9, 2020 Share #6 Posted August 9, 2020 That's a beauty! The scabbard is in great shape too. They look good together. Marv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
