Low Wall Project

My Low Wall arrived and I am looking forward to starting the restoration process. According to the Winchester Arms Collectors Association website its serial number gives it a manufacture date of 1896.

As I said in my previous post, it has some issues. The stock is cracked in several places at the wrist, the forearm has some large chips, and the bore is pretty rough. The first place it will be going is Taylor Machine Shop in Puyallup, WA to have its bore lined.






Available Knife

The Semi-Skinner  below is currently available. The handle is Desert Ironwood, steel is O1, overall length is 7 1/2", and the blade length is 3 1/2". I had set aside this set of Ironwood scales for my personal use, but need to fund the Low Wall Project, so I pulled them out of "hiding". I haven't made a sheath yet, so if you are interested in purchasing it, you can choose a right or left hand sheath. 
THIS KNIFE IS SOLD



If you are interested in having a custom knife made, I can be reached at baumgartknives@gmail.com
