All About Pocket Knives

Dale,

Thank you and i will be watching

Well dont hold back I am still wondering..........LOL

Ok who am I to doubt you? I am waiting on another magnifier so when it arrives I should be able to see something? Whatever happens it will be coming apart. I do want to clean it right up and put on some stag scales. Yes it has excellent snap on all blades. The knife has no wear on the blades I doubt...

Dale, yep Australia ::ds:: we love it here. I get over to the USA every other year hunting so I can look around when over next year. Postage; actually it is cheaper for me to have a knife sent from the USA to Australia - average $3 - $4 than it is to have one sent from 20 miles down the road here ($...

Ok here is a couple of images. As I said I find it very difficult to see those pins. Oh and by the way I am surprised by the amount of scratched etc. on the bolster.

Ok thanks for that I will have to enquire over here and see who has pin stock in ctock. I shall remember your suggestion on how to size it. Bear.

Dale, yep I have another question, you used a .070" pin on the blade pivot same size as the one you removed. Where would I get such a pin, presuming that is the size required, I thought they were only available in 1/16", 3/32", 1/8" etc?

Ok I will see what I can do tomorrow in the day light with a macro setting, thanks Bear.

So brass pins are ok to use on the blade pivot pin? I would have thought they would be a tad soft and you might be better off using something harder. Also you used 1/16' pins and state that the pins you removed were .070"........ 1/16" pins are .063" so you have .007" slop correc...

I'll be interested to watch your progress. I would love to make deer antler handles for a knife one day and install them on a special knife. For now until you get ready for the project, there are many ways to clean knife without taking it apart? As I still cannot see the pins in the bolsters even a...

I appreciate the feedback thank you.
P.S. I like that lockback

That is quality love the stag handles!

Dale, thanks for that. I shall keep looking.

Hi, I came across this blade on ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/160855145209?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2648 (hope the link will open) I was wondering why the pivot hole in the blade is the shape it is. I was going to but it to make a lock back folder but now I am hesitant. In th...

I must congratulate you & I will learn more as I read these posts as well. Bear

Thanks for that Dale. I will post a couple of images when I finish.

Hi from Australia, apart from a few earlier questions this is basically my first post. I recently bought a 3 & 5/8" Hen and Rooster Congress Folder on Ebay. I am really happy with the knife. however it is really dirty. I like a clean knife! I wish to take it apart and clean it, that is prob...

Wow I clicked on your link and we definately dont read Japanese?

Thank you got it.

Thanks for that Paladin51. I will check those out. But I am not sure what you mean "Check out restoration forum below" where below? Sorry as I said I am still trying to find my way around this most informative forum. Thanks again Bear.

Hello, firstly I am new to this forum and new to your fabulous hobby, I have bought a few knives of late so I suppose I have started already? I have a question, I wish to make a folder, a lock blade, around 4" handle length. However I have no experience, I am a professional taxidermist and have...
