Wow, did you make that? (I'm new to the forum) If you did make it, did you just replace the scales with the cow horn? I have a few old /junk knifes I would like to play around with and try my hand at repairing /restoring them for practice. I have a old italian lock blade that has a cracked horn hand...

Hello,
Can some one please tell me any info on this knife? I found this when I was a young lad in a forest preserve back in the 1970s.
Any info at all ( brand / age / what the handle is made from ect) would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance!!

Hello, I'm not trying to insult any one who manufactures or owns a stiletto with a red dot on the safety, but to me it is like a sacrilege taking some red paint and putting it on a nice blonde or dark horn or any nice looking scale for that mater (just my personal opinion).

Hi,
I picked one up at a flea market this fall, the guy had it marked for $28.00 I asked if he would take $15.00 he said $20.00 so I bought it, not sure if I over paid. I took it to my buffer and it came out pretty good (pictures are not that great) see the before / after.

Big thanks to Bill DeShivs for I.D. my knife (sorry about the double post).
You can see what this knife looks like after I cleaned it up. Just do a search for " Make your own Knife buffer"

Hello, Just some info if anyone is interested I had an old may tag washer bite the dust. The motor was still good, so I wired a plug and switch on it. I ran to the Ace hardware store and bought a 1/2" motor shaft 1/2 thread motor arbor attachment $7.00. I had 3 buffing wheel pads (that were set up f...

Hi Gang, I just got back from a flea market and picked up (what I think is) an old switch blade. It needs to be cleaned up, but I took photos as is. It has wax and crud on the blade needs a good cleaning/polishing. The guy had it marked for $28.00 I asked if he would take $15.00 he said $20.00 so I ...

Hi Gang, I just stumbled across this site, and just joined. Sunday night I was watching an old episode of "I SPY" and saw a woman offing people with a switch blade that I had never seen before. So doing some research on the web (this is how I found you guys) I found out it is called a trap door stil...
