Re: Question About Replacing Scales on Two Knives

Glennbad, thanks for the reply. You are much more observant than I am. After you indicated the blade placement looks weird, I got to looking at a photo of a new 95044. You are correct. The knife has been apart before and when it was put back together, the clip blade and sheepfoot blade were reversed...

Re: Question About Replacing Scales on Two Knives

Mumblepeg (Ken), thanks for your opinion on this. It is appreciated. I will leave the decision up to my Grandson. I just wanted to get an idea if it was feasible and possibly the cost.

Question About Replacing Scales on Two Knives

My Grandson recently received two pocket knives from his other grandfather. One is a Case 33092 "Birdseye" made in 1972 with composition scales. The other is a Craftsman 95044 made by Schrade in 1977-79 with Delrin scales. Both knives have damage to the scales, but the blades are all undam...

Re: Tightening Loose Pivot Pin on Camillus 64

Eric, please do not apologize about giving too much information. As I said before, I am new to knife repair and can use all the advise I can get. I went ahead and removed the pivot pin from the two blade end of the knife. I measured the holes in the bolsters and the blades as you directed. They are ...

Eric, Herb and Olde Cutler, thank you for your very helpful input to my question. I know I used a "slackener" when I originally installed the pivot pin for these two blades. However, I did not countersink or taper the bolster holes. I guess I assumed they were already countersunk/tapered f...

Tightening Loose Pivot Pin on Camillus 64

A few months ago I did a restoration on my 64. I replaced the spey blade and the awl and also replaced the plastic scales with bone. This was one of my first attempts to do this. I have been using the knife as an EDC. Now I have noticed the pivot pin for the main blade and spey blade is loose, which...

Re: Wanted Original Sheath for Schmidt & Ziegler 5417

I was looking online at Kinfolks knives and sheaths and I happened to see a photo of a Kinfolks sheath with a pattern very similar to the pattern on the sheath for an S & Z 5417. One difference I noticed between the two sheaths is this. The S & Z sheath does not have metal fasteners along th...

Ray, The 5417 is a fixed blade hunting knife. I do not know if the Schmidt & Ziegler sheaths are marked or if they have pattern numbers on them as I have not actually seen one, only photos. It makes sense that there are pattern numbers for the sheaths as I have seen photos of various models of S...

Re: Info on This Catt Fixed Blade

Thank you for correcting me on the Kinfolks' number, Gunsil. Also, thank you for the additional information. Is this a common knife, or scarce? I have not seen a Catt one in my online search. Just curious. I will probably give this one to one of my grandsons.

Re: Cattaraugus Fixed Blade

Thank you for sharing the information, Reverand. Since the top (back) of my blade is flat, I assume I should just file or grind the edge up to the point on the back where it broke off. I'll go slow, as other have suggested, and not allow the blade to get hot if I go decide to use my Dremel grinder. ...

Re: Info on This Catt Fixed Blade

I finally found a photo of the Kinfolks knife that is very similar to my Cattaraugus. The Kinfolks' is an Outers pattern 1661. I still have not found anything specific about the Cattaraugus other than what has been provided here. Thank you for the information.

Cattaraugus Fixed Blade

I posted earlier about the Schmidt & Ziegler my brother-in-law sent me along with another knife. At that time, I had not identified the make of the second knife. I finally figured out it is a Cattaraugus. The blade was dirty and rusty. It cleaned up fairly nicely with WD-40 and 400 grit sandpape...

Schmidt & Ziegler 5417

Several of you have told me knife repair/restoration would become habit forming when I first started a couple of months ago. I believe I have been sucked in, at least part way. My brother-in-law told me over the phone recently that he had a couple of knives he had been given by neighbors. They had b...
