All About Pocket Knives

I don't even remember where I got this knife, as I have had it for a while. The handles were green shrinky-dink, and the kind that are crimped on. Since the knife was otherwise in excellent shape--very tight, great snap, etc., I didn't tear it apart, and instead glued on some acrylic handles. It'll be a good user, or else a good give-away knife.

Great save, Brent.

Nice old 4-liner and a very creative save!
(P.S. - Brent, I believe that book in your pictures is the same cutlery counterfeiting book that I have.)

Thanks! And I just got this book (Which is why it's sitting on the dining room table) and have only just begun to read it. I don't generally trade in the rarefied circles where counterfeits would usually be common, but I figure it doesn't hurt to educate myself.

And I just remembered--the knife came from Meridian Mike, with whom I had a trade a few months back. Thanks, Mike!

(We have Covid in the house--though I do not have it, so far--so I've been a bit preoccupied. My brain is not running on all eight.)

Great job!

Not to thread hijack, but there's a book on counterfeiting antique knives? Is it a repair manual or more of a how-to? Unusual, to say the least.

That Witcher book has lots of great info, but watch it doesn't make you paranoid. .

Great looking re-scale. I like how they did the coin edge/file work on those Sword Brands.

Very knice!!

The intent seems to be knowing how it's done, to make it more easy to detect them.

Looks great, Brent!

Sweet looking knife!

Nice save!
