Re: pearl handle switchblade repair

Have you tried close it like in this video? Your knife looks to be a kit knife.

Re: Refresh old horn scales?

Thanks Tom!
I have lightly sanded the scales and applied wax, the horn feels much better, not as dry. but visually its not a big difference.
Should I sand it more or what do you guys think?

Refresh old horn scales?

Hello
I have an old manual stiletto with some poorly aged horn scales, is there a way to make them look better?
I dont want to ruin anything. just curious if there is something to be done.

Very nice! I think the Bargeon is called model 817. What is the tang stamp on the italian?
I love the black and chrome examples myself!

Yes Bill is right, its a Spanish CETME bayonet, the blade looks full and is supposed to have the bolo shape.

Re: A really rare one!

Very interesting knife! If its 17" it means its close to 42.5cm, thats a big knife, I thought it was smaller judging by the pictures.
