Re: Question about tightening the guard/knob on fixed blade knife

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) ...

Question about tightening the guard/knob on fixed blade knife

This is one example but I have had others - fixed blade knives with concealed tangs and what seems to be an odd fastener at the end. These usually have guards/knobs that are loose and can be moved back and forth by hand. I have tried and tried but can't figure out if there is a way to tighten the wh...

Re: Winchester??

Regarding the OP knife;

Bone is too new.

Frame and blades appear to be old, but handles replaced and the stamps don't look right, blades are too rough, not fully finished.

Cody I believe Cooper owns that trademark now, which seems so ridiculous to me as he's in Ohio and has zero relationship to NY Knife Co.

Not a Case, IMO. Superficially looks like an 01 pattern, but enough differences to lead me to believe not made by Case. More likely made by Queen City.

Re: Manufacturer

I would have to see pics with the blades open, but it appears to be a Queen made knife. Queen made the only four-blade congress pattern that was sold by Moore Maker. Odd because the handles look like yellow Delrin, not smooth bone. Queen made very few Delrin handled knives for Moore Maker and the on...

Help identifying a modern Boker lockback

I just picked this up, seems like it has no model #, but the steel type I assume is the CPM-T-440V?

Wondering about the model number, age, and is there anything special about this knife - is the frame titanium?

It is about 4-1/2" long closed.

This "last model" is the most commonly found - made from '66-'67 until August 1970 when Case discontinued all stag handled knives. I assume you mean that Case discontinued all stag handled Bulldog knives, since obviously Case produced many other patterns with stag handles post 1970. Well ...

Amazing bone handles - frame and handles appear to be old.

The blades, unfortunately are modern fakes - tang stamp letters are too rounded, blades exhibit a modern look with modern grind/polish and no swedges.
