Excel knife with vintage blank

[PatrickR]

After seeing this conversion recently l thought it wold be perfect for this odd sized blank. It had a bit of warp the I turned out. No tube, just drilled out to size and pressed in the hardware. Quick, fun and useful.

Very nice Patrick.

Thanks!
it's surprising how easily and well it polished being so old.
thanks to @KateHarrow for bringing the idea here and @mrburls for the blank.

Here are the full details to make knives like this, as devised and written by @KateHarrow. They include instructions and a link to buy a 3-pack of the knives (for parts) at Amazon:

The hardware starts with a common Excel Blades K18 knife, which you disassemble for the parts. This knife:
