Re: Removing unwanted etching on blades?

On my user knives. I like to smooth and flatten them out. I prefer the new lines to run the length of the blade. The machines at the factory go across the blade. Eventually the blade etches go away. You can see this one was in a low spot. This is because I use a flat plate. If you use a soft backing...

Re: Your one big regret

Gaining back 140 lbs after loosing 70 lbs. I’ve lost 40, but I’ve got a long way to go. It would have been easier to just keep it off. Music?

Re: Swiss army knife whittling for a beginner, okay or big no?

Ideally if you are whittling at home a roll of dedicated fixed carving knives are a joy to use. IMG_6326.jpeg These flex cut knives are a good starting set. Notice the blades are short the handles are long. This gives more control. If you are away from home use whatever is in your pocket. When I whi...

Re: Swiss army knife whittling for a beginner, okay or big no?

Find old pocket knives with carbon steel blades. Alter the blade shapes thin them a little. Have fun.

The stainless blades on a SAK won’t stay sharp as long as a carbon steel blade.

Re: New old stock find

Nice finds!

It’s so strange that the 2004 knife seems so new to me. ::shrug::

In 1990 if I found something from 1970 it would have seemed old. ::facepalm::

Re: Using DC current to remove rust

I’ve never and would never try it with a pocket knife or with salt water.

If you have a digital smart battery charger it won’t work. You need an old school analog charger.

Re: Using DC current to remove rust

I used washing soda, not saltwater. It works on line of sight to the electrode. So it is best to have the item surrounded by the electrode. Googling electrolysis for rust removal will lead to a ton of information. You are basically plating backwards.

Re: Oddity

I like the looks of it. I’d have to hold / use it to make a final judgement.

The biggest thing with antler handles, is the indexing. The blade has to be in the right orientation when it is being held comfortably.

I think you nailed it.

Best bet is to find another for parts. Its common to find them with broken springs. They sell cheap

Some of you who are more familiar with this model, can I use +P ammo in it?

No. S&W does not recommend it. It is not one of the magnum frames.

Re: Standard knife company little valley folding hunter mint

It’s beautiful.

In a case like this I often wonder if its too stiff spring is the reason it is in such good condition? Whoever bought it didn’t use it. If it was easier to open he would have used it more.

Re: Remove dried paint

If it is just a couple drops, usually they will sort of pop off if you pick at them.

If the handle is fully coated you will have to use some kind of thinner to strip it off. Maybe the cirrus stripper? .
