Yes this has been quite a show. Thanks for showing. I too was thinking it would be nice to see them in a magazine or some format to just flip through them.

The coil was to crimp the cap on the fuse I believe. Not sure about the tool. Don't know anything about using it.

James I am with Greg on that comment about the easy open Schrade! WOW, that is just a phenomenal knife!!
That is a Schrade collection foundation piece ::tu:: ::tu::

What does the primary blade tang stamp look like? Is it a curved Schrade tang stamp?

Some beautiful knives being posted by all ::tu:: ::tu:: ... Been offline for awhile now so just just seeing the last 4 or so pages of this thread - some real nice knives 8) ...

Here's an American Shear & Knife Co - 3 5/16" - a nice Boys Knife... The master blade has a crocus mark side finish and the pile side still has remnants of a glaze finish which I had read was not unusual for blade finishing..
