All About Pocket Knives

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.

Zafrilla, Albacete.

You folks have a wealth of knowledge and info. Thanks for the heads up. Quick google search showed me many similar locks

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!

Looks like fun!

You have more patience than me. I probably would have given up on that quickly.

I've thought about it!

Ok need to do some adjusting before I set the last 3 pins but here it is so far.

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.

Thanks for following along

Looks pretty decent from here!

Thank you sir. Its happy sitting on my work bench!

I like it!!! I think it turned out nice!!!

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

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.

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!
