Re: Rizutto repair experts, looking for some knowledge...

Jim, since you said to heat treat the rocker, im assuming i need to get the correct high carbon steel so the process takes, correct? Again, logic beats my want of a small cnc mill.

Re: Rizutto repair experts, looking for some knowledge...

Bill and Jim, you are both correct. The button mechanism is cracked in half at the rocker pin. Its made from some lead/zinc/pot metal witchcraft which will be difficult to reproduce.

Re: Rizutto repair experts, looking for some knowledge...

Thank you both for the replying. I know its a "lost cause", but I'm pretty crafty and believe that bringing something like this back to life makes it that much more important. Kind of like bringing a rusted, hole filled 57 chevy cab back to life. It has the bolster, its a complete knife. 3/32 wire.....

Re: Update collection pics.

I'm impressed! Awesome setup! I might have to steal the display case idea from you. Oh yes, you do have a nice collection

My modest collection.... for your viewing... pleasure?!?

Here is my modest collection of stilettos (and fake,bought a real FB 2 days after the fake), leverlocks, otf's (and clones), and button locks. The Rizzy's ( one is rizzy, the other looks like one, but my knowledge is limited) are in very bad shape. The small A&K could be restored, but not by me... T...
