All About Pocket Knives

Any hope for these two switch blades? The celluloid scales are crumbling and the blades have rusted shut. Anybody work on them.

The first thing you should do is break the handles off of the knife.
They can't be repaired and will cause the knife to rust into pieces. Once this is done, spray the knife with WD 40 and try to get the blades open.
Without seeing the blades, no one can tell you if repair is viable.

IMHO if anyone can salvage them it would be Bill.

THANKS. I will post pictures after I get the handles off and get the blades open.

Pictures of the little SCHRADE Autos with the handles removed. The blades are pitted but three of them still open like they should. One of the handles came off in one piece. Can anything be done or are they just parts?

The knives CAN be repaired, but it will take an awful lot of work-and they will never look new.
The pitting on the blades is pretty bad. Between cleaning the blades, replacing the button spring, and making new handles, I would say that repair is not economically feasible. If someone had knives with good handles and bad blades, these knives would be desirable.
