Re: Have a Razor I Can not find

It is a slow process guys, you need to have enough molasses to put your object into a container and walk away and leave it for a week or two depending on the amount of rust. after a couple of weeks take it out and use a toothbrush under water to clean it off and see where you are at, it may need mor...

Re: listing removed from auction site

if it was Bay and you were not facing the proper direction while writing your listing that may be why your listing got thrown out, i have been a seller on there for more years than I care to remember and I swear they need to stop coming up with so many 'new' ideas that drive the sellers nuts and mak...

Re: I have another puzzler

Hey thank you so much, when I looked at the blades last night I didnt think it looked like it was for much more than light duty work, but looked too masculine to be a lady's fruit knife. Thank you for the help, do you have any knowledge of how I would date it? Blue

Re: Opinions on cleaning

I am just new on this site, and didnt notice the age of this post when I was reading it, but I started out in a different antique metal category and I used to use something cheap easy to find and a little weird I have to admit. I heard about it from my dad who was in the Navy in WW2 he said the Navy...

new here, enjoy knives, loads to learn

I really enjoy knives, usually pick up one or two at a flea market just because something about them catches my eye. so far have done pretty well, but I have loads to learn. Stumbled on this site and was tickled to death. If I could ask a question, I have one knife I am having trouble identifying it...
