All About Pocket Knives

Thats very kool , and creative.
I really like to ocean effect you got on your blade. Dig it !

I agree with Swedgehead, EXCEPT shortening the nut will not help; it will only make things worse. If necessary, you can counterbore the bottom of the nut to clear the shoulder of the tang at the bottom of the threads, but then the end of the tang will also protrude farther above the top of the nut....

Those are pretty common. You can improvise a tool to safely tighten and loosen/remove the nut without damage (bending and forking an old screwdriver to have 2 prongs is one way). But the tang itself also has a shoulder stop built-in, so sometimes when the handle material (especially leather discs) s...

swap meets, used kitchen knives, start with an old metal file and work some magic... I could never see myself working 50 knives before working something I want to spend time on. Maybe 2, but thats just me. LoL Anyway, auctions you pay shipping and fees and tax, go for local swap meets, estate sales,...

To save a trip, nail polish remover if you already have it, is a lighter weight solvent than MEC too. Could try that and the same method.

Wait, there is a pocketbook to corkscrews ? Haha, thats awesome.
Kool unique knives too, I like it.

I saw that original post and thought, how cool to find what looked like a great fit, but it turned out even better than expected.

Nobody is calling counterfeit on this one ? I am not the expert on Case knives, but BladeHQ caught my attention.

Very cool, early Marble's Arms too.
I like old pieces like this. I am into antique pocket watches too and occasionally an old factory doc surfaces, really brings in the sense of History.
Nice find !

Just sharing this as something to browse through on Ka-Bar Dog's Heads : viewtopic.php?t=59369

Yea, thats a good one there. The short blade with a fuller, the single guard, and that pommel - very interesting. The vintage Ideal model had the fuller and a dual guard (top and bottom), but this one has a shorter blade. I think the newer Marble's series had a sportman or sport or something with a ...

I'm looking for a belt loop attachment (frog?) for my Morakniv Kansbol sheath. Like the one pictured here. Maybe check this out: https://www.knifecountryusa.com/store/product/225356.225360/mora-00301-eldris-belt-loop-accessory-with-leather-construction.html?srsltid=AfmBOoq6mmcQYI-VeESdkS6aE61vufCW1...

I'd say it might be more valuable left as is and as an art decoration/designer piece for the right setting.

Others mentioned this too, but its about finding the right diameter brass round. If its common like 1/2", 3/8ths, .375 and others in mm's then you just buy the brass round stock for $5-10, cut off a slice, drill, tap and groove. Sounds easy but takes tools, you already seem to like to tinker an...

That etched jigging on the blade is unique, i like it on this knife !

Eric

Totally agree!

I will agree with Tv's agreement of Ea's Wow.
It has a nice look about it !

Have to agree with all of this. Its pretty typical to see minimal descriptions, and sadly many that say "contact me for more info" , don't respond... thats the nature of the beast I suppose. Sometimes still you see these large lots going for a good chunk of change, meaning someone spotted ...

OK, did a search and found this 18 knife listing, funny part is that it's only for 9 knives.

playing devil's advocate a bit but how would you desribe a collection of 18 knives ? From my observations most sellers would say "here are some knives, look at pics for desription". AI or not, it's not untrue maybe just not very authentic. Does lose something without a reference to the lis...

Have this knife in collection was wondering if any of you have ever seen this stamp? its a very nice knife but I plan to sell it so any information would be greatly appreciated Pearl,, That is an Ichthys, and no points off for spelling. It was a symbol used by early Christians when it was not safe ...

It would appear others agree with you, wow !

That was Webster Marbles' first business. He opened the Gladstone Manufacturing Co in a shed behind his house in 1892. He started making his famous gunsights there. In 1893 he developed that folding axe but had to close the business in that same year due to the economic depression that started that...

All good talking about AKCs, but back on topic, maybe this helps. In the AAPK Store you have this category. When you click into it, it is not a listing of AKC knives. Should possibly just be labeled Italian Autos. That was the intent of OPs original post. Really not a big deal but there ya go. AKC.J...

Probably a topic for admins, but i think this just boils down to the category being improperly labeled. Its labeled AKC - (Italian Autos), but really its a listing for any kind of Italian styled automatic. I noticed this long ago when shopping for a few myself, I just learned to ignore the AKC label...
