Camillus US Military Pilots Survival Knife
I was hired to repair, well that might not be the right word.. lets say build a Camillus US Military Pilots Survival Knife. My customer Allen gave me a Camillus blade and guard and asked me to put it together, It will be a gift for a friend of his.
This company went out of business in 2007 so I did some research and was able to find the drawings for the parts I need to make, the pommel and Case.
This is what he gave me, I took a picture of it on top of one of the drawings I found online:

Got my digital thermometer and thermocouple in, made a holder for the TC and I must say the results are much better this time knowing the right temperature of the salt.

Good lighting is important too so you can see the colors good as it changes.

I decided to use red spacers on each end of the stack of leather, I think it looks better plus the leather is not in direct contact with the metal washers.

So I don't chew up my nice blued washers with my belt grinder I trace it and grind up to the line then slide it together.
