Fix it forget it...what is it....?
I got this out of a junk box at a knife show for a buck or two. Not sure I ever saw a mechanism like that. The lever pushed forward lifts the spring so.you could.fold the blade closed. A point on the blade.goes in a hole on the spring to lock it. The blade stamp is somewhat missing I think. I can make out ZAFRILL underneath that is LBACETE.
So it needs a new lever could use new scales too imo. Some rust issues on blade. So fix it forget ....curious if anyone k ows the company too
Thanks all
Ross

Stamp incomplete, it is a Spanish knife from the town or city of Albacete. Common lock mechanism for those knives.

Making some headway on this one. It's a challenge. I suspect not worth the effort but it's an interesting learning curve.

I think it's pretty cool looking! I'm guessing the education, alone, will be worth it!

You have more patience than me. I probably would have given up on that quickly.
Re: Fix it forget it...what is it....?
I've thought about it!

Re: Fix it forget it...what is it....?
Well fix it won out. I got it back together and functional. Learned a few things and while.it is far from excellence it is improved and functions better. Open to thoughts and constructive criticism.

That does look really nice! I don't know that I have seen one of those in stag before - really unique. Good choice!

Re: Fix it forget it...what is it....?
Only thing I would change is the back end i didnt need both pins. Prior that was because of a rear bolster but it's still fine. The antler i had laying about and thought it looked nice with the stainless steel bolster. Thanks for the compliment.
Thanks Doc.

Re: Fix it forget it...what is it....?
Great job! I love getting into those weird mechanisms because it is such a learning experience.
The results are outstanding, they speak for themselves. I think it looks great in stag!

Great save on that knife, it really turned out perfectly! Excellent stag choice too.
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!
