Re: Aquired 2 Camillus mysteries
I believe Vit is spot on with his assessment! The Schrade "End-of-Days" knives are pretty well known and well documented. At that time many knives were assembled from parts that were not originally designed to go together. Some of them were pretty neat and there are people who collect thos...

Re: Help with Repeat Needham one blade folder
I believe what you have is called a corn knife. It looks very similar to one I have. They were used, and I still use mine, to cut the calluses off of your toes and feet. It appears that yours, like mine is built similar to a mini straight razor. As far as the age goes, I would say it was probably ma...

Re: Camillus Knife Year & Pattern Name/Number
Here is a topic in the Camillus forum where prong construction handles are discussed. The information is in an interview I did with Tom Williams and it's on the second page of this topic. I am sure they used the prong construction and the Shrinky Dink handles towards the latter part of World War II ...

Re: Camillus Knife Year & Pattern Name/Number
I agree, with the idea that it was later in World War II or shortly after the war. Camillus used a lot of "Shrinky Dink" plastic handles, and it appears that is what you have on that knife. It appears that it is prong Construction, which means two little v-shaped pieces of metal were punch...

Re: Requesting prayer for my father and the family.
Thank you all for your prayers and your encouraging words. Dad and I were pretty close and I called them almost every day since Mom passed a couple years ago. I know Dad did not fear death, in fact he welcomed it, because it meant he would be reunited with Mom and with the Lord. He looked forward to...

Re: Side to Side Blade Movement on Custom LB when closed
I doubt the pivot pin is worn since I bought it new, but undersized makes sense. Would I be correct in assuming the pin could be replaced but it would require a complete disassembly of the knife? I thought you may have bought it new and with as many knives as you have I doubt it would have been wor...

Re: Side to Side Blade Movement on Custom LB when closed
The first thought that comes to my mind is it may be a worn pivot pin, or an undersized pivot pin. The knife doesn't look as though it's been used enough to have a worn pivot pin, but that's difficult to tell from the pictures.

Re: Requesting prayer for my father and the family.
I want to thank you all for your prayers for my Dad and my family. My Dad left this life this morning about 4:30, and joined my Mother with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He is no longer in suffering, and that is a blessing and a mercy.
Thanks again for your prayers.
Dale

Re: 92 in amber
Outstanding work Glenn!
Amber bone is probably my favorite color of bone, and the jigging patterns add a great deal to it also. Nice choice in jigging pattern as well as the color! But those things together without standing craftsmanship and it's a definite winner!

I will keep her in my prayers. Do you have a first name for her, so our prayers can be more personal? My wife is going through this same thing right now.

Re: Looking for a pivot that is 0.235" diameter
That's is .015" under 1/4". I would find a 1/4" dia nail or steel rod, which should be available at your local hardware store, and put a length of it in my drill press and use a file or sandpaper to take the .250 steel rod down to .235". Actually it's a pretty easy fix.

Re: Requesting prayer for my father and the family.
Thank you guys for all your prayers. My brother and sister-in-law were down to see him today and one of my sisters and her husband was there also. The general consensus is it will be sooner rather than later that he will pass. I was able to talk to him on the phone briefly this afternoon, but I coul...

Requesting prayer for my father and the family.
First I want to thank all of you guys for your prayers for my Mom before she passed April 30, 2022. Mom and Dad had been married almost 73 years when she passed and nobody in the family thought Dad would live more than a couple of months without Mom. Dad turned 94 this December and he has been going...

I've had a bird coming to feed for the last week or so but I have been unable to get a picture of it. It's very skittish and even the juncos seem to scare it away. I was finally able to get a picture of it today. I believe it's a western meadowlark, Oregon's state bird. Dale, I think you have a Var...

Re: Questions about Schrade Folding Hunters
I concur with Eric, I've never seen a 225H with a lanyard tube. Also, if I might suggest, taper the pivot pin holes in the bolsters so that the pin head will swell and lock the pin into place. This will keep the pin from traveling from side to side, or even coming out. It doesn't take a lot, just a ...
