Re: Unknown origin leverlock

Thanks for the info! Japan? Hmm ..seems like pretty shoddy workmanship for Japanese construction...I would have thought Maybe Chinese..mayhaps Hong Kong?

Re: New Case knives with pocketclips question

Just my two cents worth here, but none of cases traditional folders we're designed with a pocket clip in mind...and they never should have added that option ..kinda like putting mag wheels on a Rolls Royce...there are some places where they obviously don't belong. Also i know from experience that yo...

Bear & Sons not collectible?

I'm a newbie here..just been posting for a few weeks .spend most of my time here soaking up knowledge and drooling over pictures of stuff I can't afford. My preference is for American made knives and I'm wondering why I see no mention of Bear & Sons knives. Are they not 'old' enough? Some other ...

Re: KERSHAW KNIVES

I don't know the correct model number for the 3-blade slip joint but I purchased it in late 1976. Since it is little large and heavy for convenient pocket carry, I really never carried or used it .so it remained in mint condition . I stored it with my other stuff when I moved to a different state in...

Re: Great Eastern Cutlery Brand

M0nk..I agree 100 per cent with you on the stainless steel. The #35 Calf Pen is a great pattern and very robust EXCEPT for that 1095 blade which will rust unless cared for properly. If GEC was making knives for Mass consumption, they would be making them in stainless I'm sure. But GEC is making kniv...

He used his pocket knives for everything including a lot of things for which you should not use a pocket knife the worn and broken blades are testament to how hard they were used.

Thrashed 1097 hopeless?

I found this thrashed Kabar 1097 in my father's shop after he passed away. Not familiar with Kabar folding pocket knives so have no idea of the age of this knife. Is it salvageable and if so is it reasonable to do so? What would you do if it was yours?

Camillus USN Mark 1

This Camillus USN Mark 1 was in my father's various tool boxes and workbenches since I was a kid..don't know where he got it..maybe a flea market purchase back in the 60's. It's definitely had a hard life .my question is should I try to restore it or leave it as is? I'm open to opinions/advice.
