Re: CaseXX 640054R rescale
Blanks are cut out. Tomorrow I will remove the shield and mounting rivets for the scales. I plan on making the center pin for the springs and shortening them so maybe the are 1/32 proud. I will use them as a punch to mark the scales. After marking I will drill the center hole in the scales. Then set...

Re: CaseXX 640054R rescale
The blade and tools are actually in pretty good shape. I removed all of the remaining scales. Then ran it through my ultrasonic cleaner. I did 3 3 minute cycles. It got most of the grime out. All open and close nice with good snap. I have done half a dozen rebuilds on knives so far. I am going to at...

CaseXX 640054R rescale
I can’t believe it has been over a year since I have posted here. I tend to drift between hobbies. Knives and safety razors. Anyhow, I was able to go out scrounging today. I found this sorry looking CaseXX for $5. As I am partial to Camping knives. I had to save it.

Re: Newest Case Pick-Ups
Found this sorry looking CaseXX 640045R at the swap meet today for $5. Good snap and no real abuse on any blade or tool. I believe this is from 1965-1969. I do not have a Case for my Camp knife collection. Only have 12 so it is quite small. Anyhow it will be a nice restoration project. Nice find! :...

Re: First restoration!
Great job. I like when people turn these knives into single blades. Or grind the screwdriver into a blade. I have 2 sitting around. You may have given me the information to do one of them for my next project.
I can’t wait to see your next project.

I do no social media. They are all geared to track everything you do. It will end up in all sorts of people’s hands including the government. Not a good thing in my opinion.

Re: Remington redo
The main blade is 95% full. Secondary blade is 85% almost all wear at tip. The file is fine. All three blades are stained almost like they were Blued at some point.
I may have to see how blueing would look contrasted to MOP.

Re: Anyone use these Case Arkansas Stones?
I do not have the Case stone kit. I do however use Arkansas stones to sharpen my knives. I love them. I say give them a whirl. If you don’t want the mess of the oil, may I suggest regular old water with some Dawn dish soap just a few drops in a 4 oz container of water . It works fantastically and ju...

Looking at this listing and his other listings, all his asking prices look ridiculous to me. However his items sell.

Re: My stone collection
You have plenty of stones to get a fine edge on your knives. Like others have stated that King is a great to to get an edge. I think I see an Arkansas stone too The white and grey one.

Re: Wharncliffe Knives
Here is my one and only Wharncliffe. A Cattaraugus that I just finished rehabbing. It had bone scales put on at some point. I put the MOP back to the way it was originally.
