All About Pocket Knives

Bought this one in a bag of 3 dozen old knives for $20. The pivot pin was broken and in the process of trying to drill it out(it refused to be hammered out)the drill bit wandered a bit and as a result the hole is now off center.
Fitted a piece of 2-56 threaded rod and a couple of nuts to hold the blade and it works half decently.A little blade peek and it won't lock in the open position(a little tweaking should fix that)but it isn't a big issue.
The whole knife had a gold wash over it and I removed some polishing the rust off the blade.Looks a little crude but it works now.No maker's name but it looks to be of Spanish origin.

Still a cool knife, thanks for posting.

Yes that certainly is an unusual and nice old knife. The engraving really adds to the appearance.

A mister fancy pants in its day. Glad you got it working again.

Wow 3 dozen for $20. What about the rest of them ?

Here is a shot of the group as I received them.The two Schrade-Waldens in the upper left corner both have a file blade as a secondary;the four miniatures in the upper center are very nice;the Compass Industries mini lockback(looks like a small Buck 110)is a very well made knife;there is a nice German pearl lobster and an unmarked(probably Salm)abalone handled knife;the large folding fish knife is German made(Skiffman)and one I haven't heard of).The rest are a mixed blessing.

$20 well spent!
